My Story
Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Enrico Pitono. Over the course of 16 years, I embarked on a career in various financial institutions, primarily in treasury and capital markets across Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, the UK, and the US. Throughout this journey, I had the privilege of working alongside a diverse array of individuals—some of whom were truly insightful, while others proved to be less impactful. Along the way, I forged numerous friendships and, hopefully, only a handful of adversaries. I must confess that I made my fair share of mistakes, but I also experienced moments of great success. All in all, it was an incredibly fulfilling period of my life.
In 2014, a pivotal moment prompted me to pursue a master's degree at the esteemed London Business School, with the intention of embarking on an entrepreneurial journey. While still entrenched in the world of treasury and capital markets, I co-founded a company that primarily focuses on technology development, particularly in the realms of Software as a Service (SaaS) and blockchain. This marked a significant departure from the banking industry I was accustomed to, as I followed the path dictated by my passion. However, the startup world has proven to be a formidable challenge, and I've learned some hard lessons along the way. The dream of escaping the traditional 9-to-5 routine has indeed materialized, but not without a cost. The hours I invest in my work extend far beyond what I initially anticipated. Holidays have become a rarity, and I often yearn for a day on the beach, leisurely sipping a glass of wine, with my only concern being the intensity of the sun's rays. Strangely enough, I find myself relishing every moment of this demanding journey.
So, why have I decided to create this blog? I'm by no means a professional writer, but I have a genuine passion for expressing my thoughts and sharing insights on business and current affairs. My articles are grounded in my personal opinions, as well as the invaluable lessons I've gleaned from both my triumphs and failures. It is my sincere hope that these musings may prove useful to you, the reader. Please don't hesitate to engage in the comments section, whether you agree or disagree. I eagerly await your thoughts and perspectives.
