Tell me a little bit about yourself?
I went to a university in the US and paid my own tuition before receiving a scholarship. After I graduated, I went back to Jakarta and worked in a company for 2 years before entering the entrepreneur world up till now. My background is actually finance and international business and I have no formal education in the media. I’m a proud father of two; both of them study in university.

Where is your dream vacation and why?
