Founder, Chief Executive Officer
Abd. Kakhar Umar
ETFLIN's journey began in 2015 when I founded it as "EXCTeam" in Palu, Indonesia. Initially established as a community for health-focused students with a passion for technology, EXCTeam evolved into something more transformative. The community expanded its horizons, gaining new members from across the country.
Since 2022, I have been entrusted as CEO, steering the ship of ETFLIN towards innovation, growth, and impact. My responsibilities encompass the development of our platform, shaping the course of innovation, and fostering collaborations that drive us forward. Outside of my role as CEO at ETFLIN Publishing House, I'm all about having a blast with creativity; jamming my guitar, painting, or writing. 🎸🎨🔍
