Italian Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines, Inc.

Miles Ballestar is the Co-Founder, Owner, and CEO of iONTEK Power Solutions Corporation, a Philippine-based manufacturer and authorized distributor of power protection products since 2007, and an authorized speaker of the Italian Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines (ICCPI) where she serves as Vice President for Luzon and Member of the Board of Directors.
iONTEK operates as the exclusive Philippine distribution partner for Sistema Italia — a portfolio of leading European-Italian power protection brands covering the complete range of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, automatic voltage regulators (AVR), and energy management infrastructure. This partnership, spanning over 14 years since 2012, integrates Italian engineering excellence with Philippine manufacturing capability. iONTEK is a pioneer in electronic-type buck-boost AVR technology, manufacturing and assembling voltage regulators from 1KVA to 500KVA at its Marikina City facility. Specific brand identities within the Sistema Italia portfolio are proprietary intellectual assets disclosed upon formal business engagement.
Under Ms. Ballestar’s leadership, iONTEK has evolved from a power hardware manufacturer into an integrated energy resilience and ESG intelligence enterprise. The company developed GridShield™ — Grid Resilience Management, a satellite-fused monitoring platform that connects real-time Philippine grid telemetry to the European Space Agency’s Copernicus ecosystem. GridShield provides carbon credit potential assessment, ESG disclosure automation, and RA 11285 Energy Efficiency Act compliance roadmaps for hospitals, government facilities, PAGASA radar installations, and commercial enterprises across the provinces.
Ms. Ballestar holds Copernicus Ambassador status under ESA’s downstream applications initiative and was declared winner of the ESA GDA (Global Development Assistance) Impact Story in March 2026, selected from thousands of global submissions for demonstrating the practical development impact of European Earth observation data. She has been accepted to present at the International Astronautical Federation (IAF) Global Space Conference on Climate Change in Kigali (June 2026) and the 5th ECMWF-ESA Machine Learning Workshop in Bologna (April 2026).
Her intellectual property portfolio includes an IPOPHL Copyright Certificate (2026-00534-N) for the Ballestar Intelligence Report Format Carbon Asset — ESG Disclosure Template — BIR Carbon Credit Potential Calculator Algorithm, classified as original computer program source code (AI-Generated: No); and a WIPO-published trademark (PH4202500528353) for GRIDSHIELD covering Nice Classes 42 and 9 — scientific and technological services, satellite data processing, surge protection, and voltage regulation.
Within ICCPI, Ms. Ballestar received the Energy & Sustainability Innovation Award in November 2025 at the 5th ICCPI Leadership Awards. She has spoken on ESG and sustainability at the Philippine Sustainability Now Forum alongside the Ambassador of Italy, the COO of the Philippine Stock Exchange, and leadership from Banco de Oro, Metro Pacific, and SteelAsia. She has been featured in The Manila Times, the Philippine Information Agency (PIA), SEIPI, and adobo Magazine. iONTEK is a regular member of the Philippine Energy Efficiency Alliance (PE2) since 2023 and operates under a DOST Cluster 3 project proposition.
The GridShield ecosystem was built as a 100% Filipino family enterprise — zero foreign equity — integrating European satellite intelligence with Philippine ground-truth power data from provincial hospitals, weather stations, and commercial facilities. It is proof that world-class energy innovation can originate from the Philippines and compete on the global stage.
