Beyond Borders Podcast Episode 037: Overview
In this episode, we sit down with Charlotte Alcantara Reyes, the founder and CEO of OVA VIRTUAL, a virtual assistant solutions provider led by a powerhouse team of skilled Filipina professionals. With over 13 years of experience in corporate HR and business development, Charlotte brings deep expertise in building teams, streamlining operations, and supporting entrepreneurs across industries.
At the heart of OVA VIRTUAL is a team of passionate and talented Filipina women who decided to take control of their careers—and their lives—by working from home. What began as a solution for flexibility has become a mission: to support entrepreneurs and small teams with everything from executive assistance and admin tasks, to marketing, HR, customer service, bookkeeping, and more.
Their vision? To help business owners create freedom—real freedom—by letting go of the busywork and focusing on what really matters. And their mission goes beyond just checking boxes. It’s about building businesses that thrive with or without the constant hustle of the founder.
But what truly sets OVA VIRTUAL apart is how they work: with excellence, honesty, and heart. Their values reflect who they are—women who care deeply about their work, their clients, and each other. They believe in balance, in lifting each other up, and in doing it all in the way only women can—with grace, grit, and soul.
