About
I set up new teams and the processes they need to grow
I joined Maersk in 2021 in M&A, leading due diligence on B2C Europe and HUUB and then the Product and Operations integration of B2C Europe. I was then the first hire in the European e-commerce product team. Since 2024 I have led the global process organization for Maersk E-Commerce, which I built from zero and which owns its operational and financial processes and controls.
Before Maersk I was a management consultant at Accenture in Jakarta, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, Chief Investment Officer of a fintech startup in Indonesia, and a Technical Account Manager at Microsoft, where I built the Indonesia Services Center.
I am a CFA charterholder and an INSEAD MBA (Dean's List), and I am completing INSEAD's IN-BOARD board director programme. I graduated top of 3,145 students at BINUS University. I speak Indonesian and English, intermediate Danish and German.
