Ika Natassa: From Boardroom to Bookshop

What Media Says




In this article: Ika Natassa

Written by Katrin Figge, and was originally published in Jakarta Globe

Ika Natassa is a multitasker par excellence: she maintains a successful career in banking, has written several books, and has recently picked up a new hobby — photography. Born and raised in North Sumatra, Ika studied financial accounting in Medan and also spent time abroad in the US as well as Australia. She joined Bank Mandiri in 2002 and has steadily furthered her career; in 2007, she released her first book “A Yuppy Wedding,” which was followed by “Divortiare” (2008), “Underground” (2010), “Antologi Rasa” (2011) and “Twivortiare” (2012).
