This time you will be able to meet Michaelangelo Moran, Co-Founder of GO-JEK, Semua Properties and Bali Praia, an irrepressible entrepreneur who has recently been featured in the 40 under 40 Prestige magazine’s list of entrepreneurs.

Michaelangelo’s journey in his design career began by moving to San Francisco, CA to earn a second Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Academy of Art University’s School of Web Design + New Media. Michaelangelo earned his first degree in 2003 in Boston University’s School of Management with the concentration of Marketing and Finance, earning him the professionalism and entrepreneurial skills that sets him apart from his peers in the Academy of Art.

Along with high-school friend Nadiem Makarim, he co-founded and is Brand Director of GO-JEK, one of the biggest business success stories and the first billion dollar company to come out of Indonesia. The leading mobile app tech company provides transport, courier, shopping, food delivery and other services in 14 cities. “GO-JEK, as you know, is Indonesia’s revolution, and it’s amazing to be part of something that is clearly changing the nation,” says Moran.

In addition, Moran, who earned a degree in Business Management from Boston University in 2003 and Digital Design degree from Academy of Art in San Francisco in 2010, has co-founded Semua Properties Bali, which he calls “an end-to-end solution” for real estate, and also Arc MediSpa in Kemang, Jakarta, a beauty aesthetic and wellness company that provides non-surgical treatments. He somehow also finds time to be one of Indonesia’s leading DJs. “DJ Mikey” performs internationally as well as in Jakarta and Bali.

Finally, he has recently co-founded Bali Praia, which is the first creative space for musicians, DJs, and artists as well as a record label based in Bali. 

Michaelangelo will be interviewed by Terri Billington, speaker and business coach from Australia, who is also the facilitator of iLab, one-of-a-kind business accelerator program based on principals of Wealth Dynamics and Talent Dynamics, created by Roger James Hamilton.
