Peter Gumulia on Success as Chief of Staff, GoPay & Indonesia Tech Talent and Restoring The Joy of Learning - E27

Peter Gumulia is currently an MBA candidate at Harvard Business School. Previously, he was Chief of Staff and VP of Strategy and Growth at GoPay, one of the largest fintech companies in South East Asia.  Growing up in Indonesia, Peter experienced life as a cycle of “school, athletics, homework, and repeat." In his own words, "Discipline played an important role early on in [his] life.” This pushed Peter onto the national golf team when he was only sixteen years old. He then went on to pursue his undergraduate degree at Georgia Institute of Technology, and after graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering with the highest honors, Peter joined Bain & Co as a management consultant for two years in the US, soon after which he joined GoPay.  In the future, Peter aspires to build an online English learning platform in his home country. He hopes that this platform can unleash access to high-quality, after school programs for young Indonesians, enabling and empowering them to effectively contribute to the increasingly global economy. He says “My hope is that, in my own tiny way, I can help leapfrog Indonesia to an internationally competitive talent hub.” You can connect with him at https://www.linkedin.com/in/petergumulia/ Shownotes at https://www.jeremyau.com/blog/peter-gumulia
