Jessica Ramella is the chosen ‘ONE’

The inaugural season of The Apprentice: ONE Championship Edition came to a close with its epic season finale. Episode 13 was aired recently and the show crowned a winner after 12 weeks of intense competition. In the finale, Singapore-based sales director Jessica Ramella from Venezuela went head-to-head with former mixed martial arts champion Louie Sangalang from the Philippines. Jessica and Louie walked into the boardroom for the last time. Chatri and Niharika were there to meet them, as the final decision loomed. Chatri recapped each candidate’s strengths and weaknesses, acknowledging their routes to the finale.

Chatri praised Louie for his ability to lead with calm judgement. However, he was worried about whether or not he could earn the trust of those he would be tasked to lead. Chatri praised Jessica for her skills, and for her grace and dignity in the face of adversity. However, he questioned her risk-taking ability and close-guardedness. After each of the finalists were given the chance to make their final case, Chatri and Niharika deliberated and in the end, Jessica was named The ONE and the new Chief of Staff at the world’s largest martial arts organisation – ONE Championship.
