Bakti Untuk Negeri: Teddy Danas

When you think of banking and the likes, you will immediately be brought into all sorts of imaginary scenarios. However, Pak Teddy's line of works challenged all the notions that we've (I've) ever had. As the Senior Vice President of Government & Institutional at Bank Mandiri, he works with the Ministry of State Owned Enterprises to oversee their project: 'BUMN Untuk Indonesia' as the mediator between the government, Bank Mandiri and other State Owned Enterprises to increase their productivity and efficiency. What impressed me most throughout the interview is that he is also involved with the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, to name a few, in helping micro, small and medium enterprises across Indonesia. Helping farmers to increase their productivity to harvest thrice a year instead of one-increasing their yield from 5 tonnes of rice production to 9 tonnes, Rice Mill unit in Pamarican, supporting and driving fishermen to diversify their business unit from A-Z, etc. With his extensive background of thirty years in banking system, I do believe his passion in increasing productivities in all line of works, especially the SMEs, supported by the government as their shareholder have been and will continuously be flourished for years to come. Things looking positively good and we are hoping for the ripple effect as the result as well. A low key discussion with one of the humblest person I have ever had the chance to talk to. @inibukandiskusi
