He channels his energy outside of work through football, badminton, swimming, and gym activities. His dedication to staying active and engaged in these disciplines not only fuels his competitive edge but also reinforces his commitment to a dynamic lifestyle
During his first job, when his idealism was still strong, but his resilience had yet to be built, he often found himself overwhelmed, questioning whether he could endure the challenges of the workplace. In the early stage of working, the thought of giving up on certain projects or even resigning in a quick period or service crossed his mind repeatedly, as he struggled to adapt to the demands of his new environment or even with the surroundings situation. Then, one pivotal moment changed everything. A senior colleague, seeing his frustration, firmly reminded him to be grateful, pointing out that many others are dreaming to work. That wake-up call became the turning point in his career. From that day forward, his senior guided, support, and became his role model instantly. As time goes by, he transformed his perspective, learning not only to deal with workplace challenges but to thrive in them. His resilience strengthened, his mindset shifted, and he grew into the leader that positioned him into the person he is today
He reconnects with his old friends over a lively game of sports, reliving the relation and competitive spirit that first brought them together. These moments aren’t just about the game — they're about nostalgia, laughter, and strengthening bonds
Embracing every challenge with unwavering determination, he lives by the philosophy of never saying no to new opportunities or tasks. No matter how unfamiliar the task is, he always chooses to accept the challenge, then dive deep into learning and mastering it through relentless effort. For him, growth is not a matter of comfort — it's a journey forged through perseverance, adaptability and an unshakable belief that every challenge is a stepping stone to a higher level. This fearless approach to challenges has been the driving force behind his ascent to the Board of Directors at PT Hanwha Life Insurance Indonesia which is a part of one of the biggest financial conglomerates in Korea, and also in his previous company, where he was also serving on the Board of Commissioners in one of the subsidiaries of Sequis Group (PT AJWCS Sinergi Satu and PT AJWCS Sinergi Dua). This position was obtained by him at a remarkably young age.
