Ollie

Writer, entrepreneur, and Public Speaker in Jakarta Pusat, Indonesia

I'm a writer of 28 books (the latest one is 'Passport to Happiness') and founder of tech startups. My vision is to help build Indonesia as #CreativeNation.

I'm a Co-Founder and Chief Content Officer of Zetta Media Network. Zetta Media is a digital media network focusing on building inspiring stories from real people for millennials in Indonesia. Portals under Zetta Media Network:

It was started when I was 23 years old. I quit my job as a web developer to run my first business, an online bookstore.

In 2010, my partners & I create NulisBuku.com, the first online self-publishing print on demand platform in Indonesia and in 2015 we build Storial.co, an online writing platform. Our community of readers and writers grow to more than 500,000 people all over Indonesia.

As a commitment to society, I help organize meetups of the biggest digital startup community in Indonesia, StartupLokal and try to convert more girls to use technology as the catalyst of their success via Girls in Tech Indonesia. Girls in Tech Indonesia working with Facebook to create #WhyNot program, a series of meetups, workshops and mentoring session for girls so they can say #WhyNot to opportunities to work in tech.

I make time to write daily journal, schedule my time to travel the world and review spa destinations in my free time.
