About

With almost two decades of technology leadership experience, I specialize in expanding engineering teams and advancing product innovation to achieve business objectives. At Gojek, I grew the Consumer Platform Engineering team to 150 members, serving 30 million monthly transacting users. Additionally, we launched several pivotal initiatives, such as a revamped consumer app, the GoClub loyalty program, and a unified platform infrastructure to facilitate global expansion. My entrepreneurial journey includes a significant milestone—the successful exit of Healint following its acquisition by Aptar Digital Health. My software engineering and product innovation background is enriched by a multicultural perspective and a business education from INSEAD, empowering me to launch and scale product-focused companies effectively.
