Kylie Verzosa
Kylie Verzosa has never been interested in being just one thing. An award-winning actress, entrepreneur, creative leader, and mental health advocate, Kylie has built a career that moves between entertainment, business, and culture—driven by the belief that women can create their own opportunities and redefine success on their own terms. She first captured global attention when she was crowned Miss International 2016, representing the Philippines on the world stage. But for Kylie, that milestone was only the beginning. She went on to establish herself in film and television, earning international recognition and winning Best Actress at the 2022 Distinctive International Arab Festivals Awards for her performance in The Housemaid.
Beyond entertainment, Kylie has made her mark as an entrepreneur and brand builder. She founded SOLÁ, an inclusive shapewear brand that challenged conventional beauty standards and championed confidence and self-expression. Today, she is also a co-founder and Brand Director of &you, a healthcare company focused on making wellness more accessible, where she helps shape the brand’s creative direction, identity, and consumer experience. She is also the creator and host of Almost Honest, a podcast exploring ambition, relationships, business, and personal growth through candid, unfiltered conversations with influential voices across industries. The show has become a space for women navigating modern womanhood — honest, no-filter conversations about ambition, identity, and the things people don’t usually say out loud.
Her commitment to meaningful impact began in 2016, when she founded Mental Health Matters, an advocacy platform dedicated to challenging stigma and encouraging more open conversations around mental well-being. With a sharp instinct for branding, storytelling, and culture, Kylie represents a new generation of Filipino entrepreneurs who are equally comfortable building businesses, shaping conversations, and challenging expectations. For Kylie, success has never been about fitting into a single title. It’s about the freedom to evolve, the courage to take risks, and the ambition to build something that lasts.
