Impassioned impact strategist scaling transformative solutions in tech for good. Top Skills: Strategic Partnership Building, Data-Driven Growth, Community Engagement. I collaborate with innovative companies to bring essential services like healthcare, education, and sustainable living to underserved communities. Combining impact investing, social entrepreneurship, and human-centered design principles, I craft comprehensive plans that uplift while driving revenue. Key Achievements: Generated $50K in new sales by uniting competing bio-fertilizer leaders, prioritizing farmer success and environmental restoration. Democratized pivotal technologies such as renewable energy, ethical AI, and blockchain transparency to empower individuals and support society. I get excited about opportunities where I'm able to unite diverse stakeholders around a shared mission, execute ambitious initiatives, and inspire teams to overcome obstacles. In my personal life, I love to cycle and learn, often at the same time. Cycling time is great podcast listening time. If using technology as a force for good drives you, I'm ready to co-create that future. Let's connect!

Building a startup is not my original purpose. When I was a university student, I was lucky to be selected into an international volunteer team that helped the Indonesian community build up their basic infrastructure and elementary education. During that time, I had a deep reflection since people who joined this program come from 7 different countries with various higher level education, but yet the positive impact that we used to contribute is our labor force. If we could unlock the power of finance to drive change with the knowledge we learned, we could speed up the progress and make bigger impacts. Several months later, I want to build my financial security with what I learned and avoid conflict of interests in the financial industry. Interestingly, the deeper I learned, the more I realized that the core spirit of personal finance relates to sustainability. It is all about the balance between the future and the current needs. That’s when I started to learn if there was any business model that could unlock positive change. In fact, 2-3 years ago, I worked on a pure individual climate action idea with my friends. We have followed up Aspiration and Commons(Joro) in the USA, and Doconomy in Sweden to identify the monetization methods. However, we did not make it with solid monetization methods. In 2023, with the AI breakthrough in customization, I decided to reorganize our work in the past. Meanwhile, I joined the 18-week ECOTA Regenerative Finance program and met several great people who drive collective climate action. Therefore, my startup journey begins.
