About

I build scalable product ecosystems that convert friction into measurable growth. With over 9 years leading multi-country Marketplace, Platform, and Identity products, I’ve driven outcomes such as doubling merchant activation at Gojek, improving onboarding conversion from 65 → 80 %, and lifting NPS from 45 → 62 at VIDA. At VIDA Digital Identity, I lead a 15-member Product × Design × Research org managing a 7-product suite across KYC/KYB, Liveness, Authentication, and Fraud-Deepfake risk. My focus is on building interoperable SDK/API platforms that power digital onboarding, identity verification, and enterprise-grade authentication for Southeast Asia , generating multimillion-dollar upsells and 30 % faster client onboarding using GenAI-driven automation. Previously at Gojek and Traveloka, I scaled high-volume marketplace and travel platforms serving 100 M+ MAUs, improving activation (41 → 76 %), reducing cancellations by 65 %, and raising app ratings from 3.9 → 4.5. I bring a cross-industry foundation in logistics, e-commerce, OTA, and hospitality tech : uniting design, data, and execution to deliver customer trust, operational efficiency, and commercial growth.
