THE BEGINNING
STEP UP FROM THE FLOOR

FROM THE RESTAURANT FLOOR TO THE BOARDROOM.

From a restaurant floor in Nusa Dua to the boardrooms of Bali Expat’s Corporate.

From the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean. This is the journey that shaped everything I do.

Twenty-five years of working and running hotels taught me one thing: business has always been about people.

I have trained people across different positions and management levels, from various hotels and star-rated properties across Indonesia.

What I taught wasn’t just theory pulled from a textbook. It was real-life experience from the same floor-to-boardroom journey I lived myself, passed on to people standing exactly where I once stood.

THE HUMAN SIDE
BEYOND THE MEETING ROOM

The version behind the professional.

Outside the world of hotels and boardrooms, I am at my core a simple guy who loves people.

Energetic. Organised. Curious about almost everything. The kind of person who finds as much joy in a deep conversation with a stranger as in closing a complex consulting deal.

01 THE PERSON

I read to understand the world. I travel to experience it. I explore nature to reset. I follow technology because the future fascinates me.

But the one thread that runs through everything from managing hotel teams to recording TikTok videos at midnight is human connection.

“
The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives.
That’s not something I read somewhere. That’s something I felt.
01 ↗

Energetic

High energy, always moving forward.

02 +

Organized

Systems thinker, detail oriented.

03 ○

People

Genuinely loves making connections.

04 ?

Curious

Always learning, never satisfied with surface.

OFF THE CLOCK

What I’m doing when I’m not working.

A little curiosity, a little movement, and usually something new to explore.
01
01 / MIND

Reading

Ideas, people, business, technology, psychology and anything that makes me look at the world differently.

02
02 / WORLD

Traveling

Different places. Different people. Different perspectives.

03
03 / CREATE

Making Content

Sharing ideas, experimenting, recording, editing and occasionally posting at completely unreasonable hours.

04
04 / FUTURE

Tech & Design

I enjoy understanding how technology changes the way we work, communicate, build and create.

03

Behind every role, title and achievement there is still just a person.

And that part matters most.
