Dennis Defri

I am an Indonesian Javanese professional with over a decade of experience in engineering, project management, and marketing, specializing in coal trading and logistics. My leadership journey began early, serving as a school prefect for five consecutive years and later earning recognition as one of the top ten highest NEM scorers in junior high school, which granted me a scholarship for tutoring.

Graduating with a Civil Engineering degree from the University of Indonesia in 2012, I pursued further Risk Mitigation studies at Politecnico di Milano, Italy. I have contributed significantly to government projects, infrastructure development, and housing initiatives throughout his career. My role in the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing involved project planning, disaster management, and policy implementation. Transitioning into the energy sector, I have held key leadership positions in operational site management and marketing strategy.

Beyond my professional endeavors, I have a deep appreciation for both classical and contemporary studies. My diverse interests fuel my continuous pursuit of knowledge and creative thinking. I believe in the power of mentorship and knowledge-sharing, resonating with James Franco's words: "I've been very fortunate. I had to work hard but had opportunities to do everything that I wanted. That's one of the reasons I'm teaching. I'm trying to give back to other people. That's what I guess I want to do now—continue to be creative in a way that I can give back."
