 I grew up in Indonesia. I spent almost my whole youth in Indonesia and after I graduated from high school I came to Newcastle, Australia. I'm Nani Purnomo, graduated in 1995, industrial engineering and from the Callaghan campus. My father gave me the opportunity to study abroad but he didn't want me to study in a big city and he didn't want me to study too far from Indonesia so Newcastle was a perfect place. Being different always have its challenges and always have its plus sides as well. Being part of the Newcastle 2NUR radio station it pushed me through my comfort zone. Being a radio DJ on that time you have to do everything yourself so it helps me with several things not just being able to speak in a structural way. It helped me develop the crisis management skill so I think I learned a lot from being a radio DJ. After I did my industrial engineering in Newcastle, my late grandmother who was actually the founder of our family company asked me to come back and work for the company. Now I'm the CEO of our family business. We have about 50,000 employees. Our core business is in passenger transportation consists of taxis, limousine, car rental and buses. We also have other subsidiary companies. In career I think my proudest achievement is when I founded the women empowerment program to help the wives of the drivers. You know people can do businesses from home through the e-commerce the digital economy so that was the focus of the program. I become who I am because I was here. I learned how to live differently. I learned to be independent. I learned to have a growth mindset and be more tolerant. I used to say that I was the caterpillar when I got here you know and I was in my cocoon and when I graduated I graduated as a butterfly and I'm very happy to be part of the alumni of the University of Newcastle.
