Eddie Ybanez (born March 19, 1986) is a Filipino entrepreneur and former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of MiCab, a taxi-hailing service in the Philippines.[1] Ybanez founded Micab with the aim of addressing urban transportation challenges in the country, offering a reliable alternative to traditional ride-sharing platforms.[2][3] Under his leadership, Micab expanded its operations to become a significant player in the Philippine ride-hailing industry, emphasizing affordability and efficiency in its taxi services. Ybanez's vision and strategic direction were instrumental in positioning Micab as a key competitor in the local transportation sector.[4]
Ybanez's vision for Micab centered on leveraging technology to improve the commuting experience while supporting local taxi operators. His innovative approach garnered recognition, particularly for how Micab differentiated itself by partnering directly with taxi companies rather than individual drivers. This strategy ensured better service quality and reliability, setting Micab apart in the competitive ride-hailing industry.
After stepping down from his role at Micab in 2019, Ybanez confirmed that he would no longer be involved in the company's operations. He is now focused on exploring new opportunities in on-demand and industry-enabling technology. Additionally, Ybanez has devoted more time to Payruler, an HR software startup he co-founded, where he currently serves as Chief Technology Officer (CTO).
