Career & background
A third-generation business leader, Kamdani has helped develop Sintesa from a family enterprise into a strategic investment holding company. Its portfolio spans energy, property, industrial products and consumer products. Her education includes Barnard College and executive education at Harvard Business School. Alongside her company responsibilities, Sintesa’s current biography identifies her as chair of the Indonesian Employers Association, APINDO, and records her leadership of the B20 Indonesia process in 2022.
Areas of contribution
Her work beyond Sintesa includes founding roles in Angel Investment Network Indonesia, the Indonesia Business Council for Sustainable Development and the Indonesian Business Coalition for Women’s Empowerment. These initiatives connect investment, responsible business practice and access to opportunity. They also reflect the breadth of her professional contribution: building a company while participating in institutions through which businesses exchange experience and engage with public priorities.
Leadership focus
In a 2016 interview published by Singapore Management University, Kamdani highlighted mentoring, market access and finance as practical needs for women entrepreneurs. She also discussed workplace support and the challenge of progressing into senior roles. Read alongside her subsequent institutional work, that perspective places leadership development within the everyday conditions that allow people to build and sustain a business.
