Stakeholder Engagement | Editorial Strategy | Industry Dialogue
Indonesia
Professional Summary
I work with leaders and organizations across the Indonesia mining industry to help their activities, values, and long-term contributions be understood clearly and fairly by external stakeholders.
With more than 20 years of experience spanning journalism, industry platforms, and executive-level engagement, my work focuses on bridging operational realities with public understanding—particularly in environments where mining intersects closely with local communities, government priorities, and national discourse.
My professional foundation was formed in journalism, covering environmental governance, climate policy, and natural resources. That background shaped a disciplined approach to communication: grounded in facts, sensitive to local context, and aware that credibility is built over time, not through messaging volume.
My approach emphasizes relationship-based engagement—quiet, consistent, and rooted in long-term trust rather than short-term visibility.
