Febriany Eddy: Women's Turn to Lead!

 


by: Chesilya Putri

The choice by the multinational mining organization, PT Vale Indonesia to designate Febriany Eddy as CEO in 2021, is another step towards women in leadership roles, especially in the mining industry which is mostly dominated by men.

Febriany Eddy is the CEO of PT Vale Indonesia who was officially elected at the 2021 General Meeting of Shareholders (GMS). Born in Palembang, Febriany Eddy, who is familiarly called Febri, has worked for almost 14 years at the mining company. Febri is a graduate of the Bachelor of Economics at the University of Indonesia. She also holds an MBA from UCLA Anderson School of Management and National University of Singapore.

Febri's early career began while working in the financial industry. Febri has worked for PricewaterhouseCoopers in Jakarta for 5.5 years and in Amsterdam, the Netherlands for 1.5 years. Febri also served as Vale Indonesia’s Project Financing Supervision and Financial Evaluation Manager for 3 years.

In addition, Febri has also served at Vale Base Metals Asia Pacific and Africa regional office based in Brisbane, Australia for 2.5 years. While working there, Febri was responsible for Vale Base Metals operations in Indonesia, Japan, China, Taiwan, and Africa.

Before taking on the CEO position, Febri served as CFO of Vale Indonesia in the 2018-2019 period and served as Deputy CEO for 2 years before finally moving up to become CEO and President Director.

With her work in the financial and mining industries, Febri won several awards including being included in the Top 25 Most Influential Women in Treasury in Asia Pacific in 2015 and being selected as Asia's Top Sustainability Superwomen in 2019. She also made it into Forbes Asia's Power Businesswomen 2022 list with 19 others.

Febri is a figure who also actively advocates for equality, diversity, inclusion, and sustainability through various forums, such as Women in Mining & Energy (WIME), and Indonesia Business Council for Women Empowerment (IBCWE).

From Febriany Eddy we can learn that the title 'woman' is not a barrier to achieving the highest possible career. Her story breaks the stigma that women can also be leaders and that men and women have equal employment opportunities.

Good Damage: Justifying the Trauma, Does it All Happen for a Reason?

  by: Rebecca Karenia “All the damage I got isn't good damage.. it's just.. damage. I haven't got nothing out of it and all those years I was miserable was for nothing.” The quote you see above was taken from Diane's monologue from the show Bojack Horseman. The character Diane Nguyen, a 40 year old aspiring writer, was contemplating whether she should continue writing her first book or stop altogether since it does not serve any purpose to all the hardships and trauma she went through. Sounds familiar? Let's dive deep into it! Oftentimes you may find yourself thinking that the trauma you’ve gone through in the past, happens to you for a reason. It must’ve happened with a purpose, right? And so in order to serve this purpose, you forge strength and resilience to become someone different- someone who learned from their mistakes. Someone who knows better about the truth and harshness of the real world. You define your own suffering and give it a whole new meaning so th

Finding the Freedom in Feeling Left Behind

by: Ilma Rosyidah Everyone has their own timeline. But the feeling of being left behind becomes uncontrollable when everyone else seems to be reaching another stage in life while you still don’t know what to do. Feeling left behind in some ways can lead you to lose your freedom.    The days go by so fast before you might even notice your New Year’s resolutions still showing no progress. At the same time, the idea of breaking the distance through technology makes you easily exposed to everybody’s life, even the ones you don't really know. You see beautiful pictures and various achievements that other people have. Then when you look in the mirror, you start to second guess your worth. “Mirror mirror on the wall, I guess I am worse than everyone else because they are doing better in life ,” you might hear.  I think I was in yesterday 'Cause everybody walks too fast -My Time, by Jungkook BTS- Your friend is attending college while reality is holding you back to do the same.
