Principal Advisor

Based in Jakarta, Indonesia

I am currently heading the SUTRI NAMA and INDOBUS programme, which focuses on achieving transformational change for Indonesia’s urban transport. Living in one of the largest populated countries in the world, urban transport is the bread and butter of one’s city, which led me to my passion for mass rapid transit that is inclusive, sustainable, reliable, and affordable. With a growing economy and advancing infrastructure, I aim to ensure the accessibility of urban transport through its policies and the actualisation of mass rapid transit systems in Indonesian cities.

I joined GIZ in 2011 as an advisor and have since worked for several projects including SUTIP, PAKLIM, TRANSfer and have also led the TRANSfer III project team towards its conclusion in Indonesia. Prior to joining GIZ, I’ve supported several city Governments in developing their urban plan and have done research and assessment at Mercedes Benz Indonesia. This was of course supported by the knowledge I have gained at the Technische Universität München, where I received my master’s degree in Transportation System.

Based in Jakarta, Indonesia

Having completed my MSc in transport and city planning at UCL and with extensive experience in architectural design firms and engineering consultancy, I have gained valuable expertise in the field of the built environment. Working actively in planning, assessing, and evaluating transport infrastructure projects in various regions of Indonesia has further refined my skills and understanding in this area. In 2022, I had the privilege to become a transport advisor at GIZ, where I have been able to contribute my expertise to the SUTRI NAMA and INDOBUS programme. In this role, I have provided technical assistance and organised capacity development events for our respected local and national partners. Additionally, I have fostered meaningful engagement with stakeholders to ensure smooth project implementation.

I firmly believe that travel has evolved into a vital aspect of modern daily life. Consequently, the provision of sustainable, integrated, accessible, and inclusive public transport infrastructure plays an important role in enhancing the quality of life for individuals and facilitating convenient access to their daily necessities. With boundless enthusiasm and a passionate drive, I am happy to take part in advancing the public transport infrastructure!

My interest with transport ignited when I realized how much it shapes our daily lives and impacts the world around us. This droves me to learn into the issues at the root while also engineering practical solutions. Armed with a background in transport engineering from the Institute of Technology of Bandung and climate-focused courses at Hiroshima University, I’ve been on a journey to delve further into the world of sustainable transport.

Today, my journey has led me to the vibrant team at GIZ as an advisor for the SUTRI NAMA & INDOBUS programme. In this role, I’m deeply immersed in shaping the sustainable urban transport development for the partner country. My focus centres on crafting urban transport policies that not only resonate with our shared vision for a greener future but also actively contribute to our collective endeavour to combat climate change. With that, I am enthusiastic to join hand and collaboratively craft solutions that are not only a reflection of my journey thus far but also a testament to our collective aspiration for a more sustainable world.

Advocating equitable and sustainable urban transportation solutions is my day-to-day. This should be followed with a strong focus on prioritizing and improving public transport, especially in urban areas. I firmly believe that achieving this goal requires a combination of measurable assessments, well-crafted policies, and technical capacities for all stakeholders involved. Without these key elements, the challenges can become overwhelming and hinder progress.

With a background in transport engineering and nearly a decade of experience in the public transport sector, I have been actively involved in technical preparation, assessment, and evaluation of urban mass public transport systems. My journey led me to join GIZ in 2018, where I contributed to the SUTRI NAMA and INDOBUS programme. These experiences allowed me to realise my aspiration of pioneering mass public transport initiatives in Indonesia’s diverse metropolitan cities. While the challenges are undeniably present, I see them as opportunities for growth and positive change. By working together and embracing these obstacles, we can create a brighter and more sustainable urban mobility. Game on!
