Dec. 2014 - Oct. 2015Malang, East Java, IndonesiaJust when I thought I had weathered enough storms, fate presented me with another challenge.
Recognizing my success in managing Fimela, the upper management entrusted me with the task of
overseeing Merdeka.com, a burgeoning news portal in Indonesia. Despite its establishment in 2012
and reputation for neutrality, Merdeka.com was still in its infancy, with modest organic growth in the
hundreds of thousands. Undeterred by the scale of the challenge, I dove headfirst into my new role, orchestrating a multifaceted
approach to propel Merdeka.com to greater heights. This involved daily coordination and supervision
of reporters and editors, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, engaging content. Collaborating closely
with designers, I spearheaded initiatives to create visually compelling graphics aimed at driving user
engagement and fostering content sharing. In tandem with these efforts, I directed programmers to optimize the site's performance, prioritizing
speed and efficiency to outpace competitors. Together, we embarked on a journey of growth and
impact, leaving a lasting impression not only on our employees but also on the countless individuals
who rely on our platform for news, particularly the youth demographic. Driven by our shared vision for progress and empowerment, we organized a transformative road trip
workshop titled 'Futurepreneur' across seven major cities in Indonesia, including Bali, where I served
as a spokesperson. Through these initiatives, we endeavored to inspire and equip the next generation
of entrepreneurs, further cementing Merdeka.com's role as a catalyst for positive change in Indonesian
society.
