I combine consultative B2B selling with data science, so a business need becomes a solution that is both commercial and data-driven.

Open to conversations about enterprise solutions, data and AI roles, and collaborations.

Right now I'm an Account Manager at Indosat Business, covering government, education, healthcare, ISP and manufacturing accounts. Before that, I built machine-learning models and automations in insurance, banking and consumer finance. See how I can help your business.

How I work

Consultative with clients, precise with data. I ask for the real business problem first, work closely with internal solution teams and stakeholders, and explain technical results to people who don't read code. I use agentic AI to speed up research and preparation, and I review everything before it goes out.

About

I'm Desta, a B2B account manager who started as a data scientist. I like turning a business need into something concrete, whether that's a solution scoped for a customer or a model that decides who to call first.

I studied Informatics Engineering at Telkom University, started my career at AXA Mandiri Financial Services, and did graduate coursework in data sciences and business analytics at ESSEC and CentraleSupélec in Paris. Then I moved into hands-on delivery at BNI and Mega Central Finance, where the contact-method model reached production in about two months.

Since June 2026 I've been at Indosat Business, where consultative selling and data fluency meet.

Off the clock

I play on PC and PS5, mod casual PC games, follow technology trends and keep an eye on where AI is heading. I also enjoy finding everyday uses for data science.

I keep upgrading my custom PC part by part. Replace the parts below and see when it stops being the same machine.

Solutions for enterprises

From the network to the applications on top, I help you work out what you need, then bring in Indosat Business's solution teams to scope it and put together a proposal.

I work with government, education, healthcare, ISP and manufacturing organizations, and I'm open to a consultation meeting with any team that has an IT need. Not sure which of these you need? That's what the first meeting is for.

How a consultation works

Discovery

We talk through your goals, your current setup and what isn't working.

Scoping

I check coverage and feasibility and work with Indosat Business's solution teams on a fit.

Proposal

You get a proposal, and I take it through the internal approvals.

Negotiation and follow-up

We agree the terms, and I follow up so nothing stalls.

Book a meeting

Choose online or in person, pick a time and tell me what you're working on. I'll reply to confirm.
