Timothy Widjaja

Market Development Executive

Timothy began his career on the technical side, graduating Cum Laude in Electrical Engineering from Bandung Institute of Technology, with early stints at Accenture and Gojek that pulled him toward the commercial end of technology. He then spent more than five years in consumer sales at Allianz Indonesia, working commission-only and building his own agency from the ground up, recruiting, onboarding and coaching a team of twenty. That experience taught him how much of sales comes down to patience: earning trust first, and letting the business follow.

The same instinct led him to an MSc in Entrepreneurship at University College London, where he graduated with Distinction and spent the year on customer development — the discipline of understanding what a market actually wants before building anything for it. Outside of work, Timothy plays saxophone, usually in a band or at weddings, and occasionally just for the neighbours who did not ask for it.
