Governance & policy

Connecting institutional responsibility
with economic understanding.

An institutional perspective

As a member of the Risk Monitoring Committee at PT KAI Logistik since 2025 and an assessor at LSP Tata Kelola, Risiko, dan Kepatuhan since 2021, he works at the intersection of oversight and professional competence. His assessment experience includes leaders and senior officials across government, state-owned enterprises and financial-sector institutions. He also served as a risk management consultant with UI-CSGAR–Bappenas in 2024–2025.

He holds a master's degree in Planning and Public Policy from Universitas Indonesia and a bachelor's degree in Economics and Development Studies from Universitas Diponegoro. He also holds the GRCE competency certification in governance, risk and compliance.

An economic perspective

His policy experience includes economic analysis at the National Economic and Industry Committee (KEIN) and leadership of the food, village development and MSME portfolio at Sigmaphi Indonesia. His writing and policy contributions address rural enterprises, regional growth, food markets, investment and the role of institutions in economic development.

At Utomo Institute, he brings an institutional and economic perspective to governance questions: how responsibilities are defined, how risks inform decisions and how policy choices translate into practice.
