Programs Coordinator
Mark Winkel, Coordinator
The Programs & Briefings Coordinator plans events for the AmCham Indonesia membership such as addresses by prominent Indonesians and Americans in the public and private sectors. Speakers are typically Government of Indonesia Ministers, U.S. Government cabinet officials, CEOs and other high-ranking representatives from major American and Indonesian corporations. The programs range from business lunches, to round-table discussions, to special events in liaison with other Chambers of Commerce, KADIN and AmCham Indonesia Committees.
The Coordinator also brings knowledgeable AmCham Indonesia members together with visitors frequently but not always representing American companies planning to invest in Indonesia in an informal, off-the-record setting, usually a breakfast. Visitors are free to ask any questions they like, taking advantage of the combined knowledge of AmCham Indonesia representatives to find out what to expect when doing business in Indonesia, and gaining valuable advice and insights from business people with first-hand experience. Aside from potential investors, organizations who often avail themselves of this service are Congressional delegations and others on fact-finding missions from the U.S. government, non-profit organizations, and current AmCham Indonesia companies who would like their visiting U.S.-based executives to gain an understanding of the business climate by hearing what others have to say about Indonesia.
