Personal statement
With over five years of experience in e-commerce logistics, I've seen firsthand the critical role robust logistics infrastructure plays in both domestic and global trade. Indonesia's unique archipelagic geography presents challenges to achieving economic parity, particularly in rural areas where high shipping costs limit opportunities for merchants and consumers alike.
Recognizing that logistics alone cannot address national economic disparities, I'm pursuing an MBA from INSEAD to deepen my understanding of business strategy and the trade sector. I will leverage my background in logistics and technology to contribute meaningfully to class discussions and broaden my perspective by connecting with students from diverse backgrounds.
I aspire to become a well-rounded business or government leader capable of driving trade reform in my country.
I believe the Hinrich Foundation community can significantly support my aspirations and help develop my global leadership skills. Being a Hinrich Foundation scholar means that I can gain access to like minded people working to bring just prosperity through sustainable trade. Furthermore, the Foundation's focus on ethical leadership and sustainable trade aligns with my values, offering the guidance and support needed to navigate complex geopolitical and economic landscapes.
