What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead strategic communications, media relations, stakeholder engagement, and reputation work for organizations navigating complex corporate, government, or regulated environments.

I've led communications work for DBS Bank, Eramet, PT Vale, Pertamina Geothermal Energy, Philip Morris International, Roche Indonesia, and Indonesia's Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology. Across corporate, government, agency, and highly regulated environments, I turn organizational priorities into clear messaging and stakeholder-facing narratives.

My work spans integrated PR strategy, media outreach, executive speeches, press releases, crisis response, public affairs, government relations, and communications for national programs including Program Sekolah Penggerak and Pendidikan Profesi Guru. I have also supported major events, product launches, media interviews, webinars, and campaigns for corporate and consumer-facing brands.

With more than 20 years in communications, I bring practical experience in reputation management, marketing compliance, stakeholder alignment, and effective communication training.
