My LinkedIn Profile
Tell us about your career so far
I bring seven years of corporate finance and strategic leadership experience across advisory firms, listed corporations, and a multi unit family business. I have led multi trillion rupiah debt restructurings, built long range financial and valuation models, and supported IPO and M&A transactions that shaped board level decisions. Alongside this, I serve as CFO for my family’s business group, driving financial operations, governance improvements, and organisational transformation. My work blends analytical depth with cross functional leadership, consistently delivering measurable improvements in performance, clarity, and strategic execution.
Why did you choose to study an MBA at the University of Birmingham?
I chose the University of Birmingham for its strong focus on strategy, leadership, and applied learning. The MBA’s emphasis on solving real business challenges, working in diverse teams, and making executive level decisions aligned with my goal to strengthen both my analytical and leadership capabilities. I was particularly drawn to the balance between academic rigour and practical insight, as well as the opportunity to learn from experienced faculty and industry practitioners. Receiving the Birmingham Business School Scholarship further affirmed that this programme was the right environment for my professional growth.
What are your career aspirations after completing the MBA?
After my MBA, I aim to grow in roles at the intersection of strategy consulting and corporate finance. I am particularly interested in positions that involve organisational transformation, capital strategy, and solving complex business challenges. In the medium term, I hope to build expertise across strategy, operations, and financial decision making within global organisations. Long term, I aspire to step into senior leadership roles where I can combine analytical depth with people centred leadership to drive sustainable growth and create meaningful impact across businesses and emerging markets.
