Aulia Velmy
@auliavelmy
Strategic Partnerships and telecom ecosystem leader driving digital transformation across APAC.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Strategic Partnerships, Ecosystem, and Technology leader with 18+ years of experience building executive partnerships, driving digital transformation, and leading cross-functional initiatives across telecommunications, digital infrastructure, and technology ecosystems throughout Asia Pacific. At Meta, I lead strategic engagement with telecommunications operators across Indonesia as a primary carrier relationship leader, trusted to build executive relationships with Tier-1 operators, GSMA, government regulators, and industry leaders to accelerate technology adoption, ecosystem growth, platform innovation, and user experience.
I own the complete partnership lifecycle—from opportunity identification and executive engagement through partnership strategy, collaboration agreement negotiation, governance, executive steering, and cross-functional execution—working closely with Product, Engineering, Business Development, Legal, Infrastructure, Public Policy, Data Science, and regional leadership teams. I’ve built large-scale ecosystem programs from concept to execution (including national programs such as Telecom Infra Project, Metaverse Research & Experience Center, and Subsea Ecosystem Development Program), scaling collaboration from fewer than 10 organizations to over 100 ecosystem partners, and I’ve improved quality of experience for more than 20 million daily Meta voice and video calls through carrier-specific optimization strategies.
