My extensive international and entrepreneurial experience places me in the unique position to seek and evaluate strategic long-term acquisition strategies. As a CPA, I am also directly responsible for the tax advisory and consulting services provided to the organization’s clients.
I was born and raised in Indonesia, where I developed a strong entrepreneurial foundation and quickly learned the values of hard work. At an early age, I immigrated to the US, where I attended Chico State and completed my bachelor’s degree in accounting. I continued to expand my educational foundation with an MBA from Saint Mary’s College of California. I quickly began developing my professional resume, with various roles in finance and accounting, including roles as CFO with PT Citra Swadaya Loka and Kelley & Swain, Inc. I then began to sharpen my entrepreneurial skill sets and started Turino & Co., a company that focused on management coaching and financial consulting. I sought to expand my expertise more broadly and became the managing principal with VINX International, a global organization that sought to create demand and experience of wine consumption in Asia Pacific Rim countries.
With this ever-growing entrepreneurial spirit in full bloom, I co-founded GroupOne IT. Throughout my professional career, I have remained active and engaged with my family business, Puratos Indonesia, where I have spent over two decades on the board of directors.
As an efficient multi-tasker and thoughtful mentor, I am highly respected among my peers and subordinates alike. I am motivated daily to mentor, develop, and guide my direct reports to the highest levels of both personal and professional success. I am passionate about numbers and all things financial.
In my personal life, I'm a loving husband and father of two grown children, and I love hiking, golf, travel, food, and wine.
