Intraspec’s Beginnings:
According to Jojo Vito himself, Intraspec had its roots back in 1995, thanks to a special partnership with Daisy de Dios. The company was originally known as HUMANSPECS, Co.
The name was later changed to Intraspec Management Consultancy when the two decided to part ways as Daisy de Dios pursued a new career opportunity in Metro Manila.
Jojo took the helm from then on and renamed the company, taking inspiration from an Old Testament Verse that says “and they shall be called oaks of integrity planted by the Lord to show his glory (Isaiah 61:3).” Besides, Intraspec is an amalgamation of the words “Integrity,” “Training” and “Specialist. ”
The management consultancy firm specializes in providing training and consultation for human resource management and more.
Intraspec has since been invited to train leaders and staff members by big clients including Coca-Cola, First Farmers Holding Corporation, Negros Women for Tomorrow Foundation, Norwegian Ship Owners Association, Philippine Merchant Marine Academy, San Miguel Corporation, and numerous other companies, organizations, and universities.
In Jojo’s view, Daisy’s decision to leave did not hurt the company, but benefited it in fact, as she was instrumental in connecting Intraspec with many Manila-based company which later became their clients as well.

Intraspec Now:
Jojo Vito is clearly optimistic about Intraspec’s future. As the company moves on its 21st year and onwards, it appears that the best is truly yet to come. Considering how excellent the company has been performing and how passionate Jojo is, one can rightfully expect Intraspec to move higher and higher in the market.
