Remembering Heriyadi Janwar

"I believe the world is changing, we're here in Indonesia maybe a little late to adopt it but soon will catch up. Today is the world of collaboration, we must change our way of doing design, develop and distribute products and services to the new ways."

The quote above was written by Heriyadi Janwar in his LinkedIn bio. On June 20 2023 yesterday, we received news that he had breathed his last at the age of 46 years.

Heri's belief, as he is often called, is not only stated in writing, but has also been applied in his career. His work in the Indonesian technology industry began when he was still working as a Business Development Manager at a technology company.

Since then, he has actively networked and been involved in the technology startup community in Indonesia. In his writings, he emphasized that the ultimate goal is to be involved and lead future generations in business. Collaboration is key, and it can be accomplished through a variety of media, such as websites, mobile networks and television.

"Her dedication and commitment is unwavering and unparalleled. I will never forget how she quickly packed her bags and flew to Singapore & Malaysia when our technology partners faced challenges, remaining there until the issues were resolved and our website could be launched," said the CEO. Ideosource, Andi Boediman who recruited him at that time.

Not only that, he also shows confidence in the country's technology industry by investing in startups and innovations that he believes will succeed. Andi also shared a moment when he relied on Heri's support in developing the B2G business at Bhinneka, at that time Ideosource had already invested there.

In 2021, Heri builds Global Fortuna Nusantara, a solution that focuses on procuring goods and services for various government agencies in Indonesia. The company has a vision to become a competent, honest and integrity provider of electronic equipment and information technology for all agencies in the archipelago.
