He is also president of GENOSI, exclusive supplier of meat products for McDonald’s in the Philippines, and founder of Sunrise Events, Inc., the organizer for Ironman and XTERRA triathlons in the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.

In recognition of Uytengsu’s achievements at AMC, he received the Philippines’ Ernst & Young 2007 Entrepreneur of the Year Award. In 2013, he and his brother Michael ’90 won Entrepreneurs of the Year from the USC Marshall Lloyd Greif Center for Entrepreneurial Studies.

In 2012, Uytengsu contributed $8 million to USC Athletics (its largest gift ever by a former student-athlete) to fund the Uytengsu Aquatics Center; the new home for the Trojan men’s and women’s swimming, diving and water polo teams opened in 2014. More recently, he gave $1 million to the Greif Center office in USC Marshall’s new Fertitta Hall, and also pledged $2 million towards the Coliseum renovation.
