About The Company
In October 1991, Focus Global started with just one brand and 20 employees in the Philippines. Today, our team of 500 manages 30 global brands, representing the world’s most trusted home products across the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia.
We are a lifestyle retail company that reimagines the retail experience by seamlessly blending online and in-store shopping through our omnichannel strategy. Leveraging the latest technologies, we make the world’s most premium home products accessible at your fingertips with a customer experience that's second to none.
Our team champions one growth philosophy: to “focus, fail, and feedback forward”. We create unique and meaningful spaces to collaborate, grow, and #FindYourFocus. At FGI, asking “what’s next?” is a habit, thinking outside of the box is the norm, and every project is a team sport.
With a vision to touch 100 million homes as #OneFocus, we create results with heart and passion to create elevated and inspired living spaces across Southeast Asia.
