Things like courage, competence, and energy are very contagious and affect other people in the organization. So, leaders need to have the courage, passion, love, competence, and energy to effectively lead an organization. Graduated from the Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana as an Electronics Engineer, Christanto started his professional career in IT by taking on the role of a Pre-sales Engineer before finally moving into Sales. Before joining Zebra, Chirstanto was the Head of Channels, Mid-Market, SMB, Commercial, & Alibaba Cloud Partnership at Hewlett Packard Enterprise Asia Pacific. And before that, he also held various senior leadership positions at companies like the ECS Group, Intel Corporation, and Microsoft Asia Pacific. With the present technological advancements, innovation plays a huge role in determining the course of industries. So, a business leader also needs to develop new ideas and implement them efficiently to disrupt the market. No business can survive without innovating on a regular basis. Additionally, every business leader must listen to their team. They should be able to understand, listen and support their colleagues with the challenges they are facing. Also, with their clear business vision, they should adapt and change to make their business successful. They should also have the ability to make tough calls and decisions with high consequences.

With its rich history of innovation, Zebra is recog- nized as the industry leader in segments like; enterprise mobile computing, barcode scanning, specialty printing, RFID reader and RFID printing, and workforce management. Since 1969, Zebra Technologies has been working behind the scenes in many industries around the world. The firm’s solutions enable businesses from varying verticals, (Retail/E -Commerce, Manufacturing, Transportation & Logistics (T&L), Healthcare, Public Sector, Hospitality, and Banking) to gain a performan- ce edge by intelligently connecting their people, assets, and data to help them gain business visibility to make business-critical decisions swiftly and decisively.

Before joining Zebra, Christanto was the Head of Channels, Mid-Market, SMB, Commercial, & Alibaba Cloud Partnership at Hewlett Packard Enterprise Asia Pacific. And before Zebra is a keen believer in innovation. From the very first handheld laser barcode scanner, which had built-in 1979, to the Zebra Savanna Data Intelligence Platform that the company introduced in 2017, Zebra spends around 10% of our annual revenue on R&D (about $567M in 2021). “ More importantly, we must be able to execute it with integrity, passion, and resilience.

He is currently the Sales Vice President for Zebra Technologies in the Southeast Asia region, and he is responsible for growing Zebra’s business in Southeast Asia and leading the sales team for the region. Christanto is involved in developing and executing strategies in alignment with Zebra’s goals and managing sales activities for the market to achieve Zebra’s overall business objectives. He is also leading Zebra’s channel sales for the Asia Pacific (excluding Greater China). Christanto Suryadarma Sales Vice President Christanto Suryadarma Sales Vice President Staying Motivated As the saying goes, “Life is never going to be smooth sailing, but I’ve learned to roll with the punches”. Christanto feels Asia Pacific is a very dynamic and complex region with diverse cultures, languages, and business environments. The biggest challenge in managing rapid changes in Asia Pacific, is the need to know the current trends and identify those that are shaping the future. can be used to cater to the varying needs of its customers, including retail/e-commerce, manufacturing, T&L, Healthcare, the Public Sector, and other businesses. That said, Zebra is continuously improving itself and enhancing, its product offerings through R&D and acquisitions. Current Market Trends He also feels, leaders need to respond quickly to changes, to be able to build capacity and nurture the ecosystem of clients and partners to generate both short-, and long-term sustainable business growth. Christanto says, “More importantly, we must be able to execute it with integrity, passion, and resilience.” Christanto believes we live in an on-demand economy where organizations must digitalize their operations to remain competitive. This on-demand economy has been accelerated due to the COVID-19 pandemic, due to lockdowns and social distancing measures. And it looks like things won’t be going back to what it was before COVID. Making Efficient and Sustainable Solutions So, he feels the only way for businesses to stay competitive in this brave new front is to undergo digital transformation to achieve According to Christanto, Zebra already has quite an extensive portfolio of solutions, that 09 June 2022

  7. Transforming the Organization “ Since joining Zebra in Q3 2021, Christanto has transformed Zebra Team in Southeast Asia to adopt the growth mindset, which is to be Inclusive, Innovative, and Collaborative. As a result, Christanto and his team achieved strong double-digit Y-o-Y Growth in Q4 FY21 and gained significant market share in key segments. They also doubled the firm’s earnings from its services and achieved a higher Employee Engagement Index. Don’t just be successful, be significant. By making others successful will in turn grant you even more success. Moving forward, Christanto’s vision is to make Zebra Technologies and its Partners the leader in industry transformation in Southeast Asia. His secondary role is to build and manage a strong channel ecosystem in the Asia Pacific (excluding Greater China) through the Engage-Enable-Excite (Three E’s) strategy and execution. greater efficiency and results through the adoption of the right technologies. As the pioneers at the edge of the enterprise, Zebra has been empowering the front-line of businesses for more than 50 years, and it continues to invest in innovations to do so. Picture of the Future Helping Others in Need Christanto believes, with the rise of industrial Revolution 4.0 and the on-demand economy, companies are racing against time to digitalize their businesses to keep up with the growing demands of their customers. For Christanto, success is not about earning a lot of money. It’s also about having the ability to help others in need. He says, “We should not aim for personal success. Rather, we should aim to become significant. Because to be Successful is self-centered, while being Significant means going beyond-self.” Therefore, Zebra is in a very exciting space to contribute to the fast-growing on-demand economy and next industrial revolution by making the World Works Better with intelligent automation, connecting people, tasks, and data, and creating insights with AI and Machine Vision to make faster, better decision making.

  8. Carlos Santos ???????????????????? ???????????? B order to do that, they flowed the funds to Ethos, which increased its total assets. Later in 2019, Carlos assumed the position of an advisor for Monetary Policy in Dollars. Soon, the board of directors of Ethos decided not to lease the algorithm anymore; instead, Ethos itself decided to start trading its own funds. orn in an upper-middle-class family, Carlos Manuel Da Silva Santos chose to study Economics. After achieving 18/20 values, Carlos started teaching at a university and created his first private company, where he made his first million. However, in 2015 Carlos lost everything. He made wrong investments, was subjected to many scams that he could not recognize, and lost millions quickly. Ethos is currently present in 72 countries across the world. Carlos has been directly involved in the organization's business areas like project financing and financial trading. He holds a bachelor's degree in Economics and several Master's degrees in Finance, Banking Accounting, and International Taxation. As a reflection of his professional and educational excellence, he was recognized by Men Leaders to Look Upto Award (2021), the Africa Everyone he knew criticized his way of living. But soon, things changed; Carlos recovered and continued doing the same. "The capacity to think and work to make things better, doing what I enjoyed with passion, being resilient, and working with principles were and are the best things in the world. In the end, the opportunities appear."- says Carlos. “ Carlos founded Ethos in Portugal in 2012. During its initial days, Ethos leased an algorithm to major investment funds that were paying royalties to Ethos. When the organization entered the market in 2014 and 2015, these investment funds traded $300 billion through this structure. Thanks to the market's volatility, investment funds proposed Ethos to operate in a different structure that could help them avoid market volatility. In order to do that, they flowed the funds to Ethos, Work, always respect all the people around you. Understand that anyone can bring you something. And work hard. Never give up. When you lose, see it as a lesson and use it so that next time you won't repeat the same mistake . 12 June 2022

Dubai Honours Award for Excellence and Leadership Prowess (2021), and the Ernst & Young Award: Best Economist (2016), and Banco de Portugal Award (2015). Helping Clients At first, Carlos's goal was to guarantee that investors could model financial markets without making any losses in financial investments. "I was trying to utilize my proprietary algorithm, which alerts in line with 'enter and exit positions in the commodities, currency, bonds, futures and share markets."- he says. Using an aggressive risk modulated strategy, Ethos spreads and accumulates profits through compounding, which helps it achieve gains in a completely safe way that could never be performed in the market. Carlos Santos Ethos Asset Management | CEO Tackling Challenges Carlos decided to diversify and invest in project financing at that point, which eventually allowed him to make long-term investments with fixed returns. All countries, economies, and companies face challenges. The pandemic has been a challenge for Ethos and the entire global banking system in general, Carlos took this opportunity to create a new Ethos. He aimed to bring capital to various sectors that other financial entities were not focused on, trying to understand why. Helping Employees to be Productive He says, "Why would someone not invest in South Africa, Laos, Swaziland, or Brazil? Soon I realized that the macroeconomic and operational risk related to such entities was the reason." Carlos says, "Our human resources are the most valuable asset that we have. In such way to allow them to maximize their thinking capacity and inno- vate know how we need to create the environment for that." Carlos soon understood that a financial instrument issued by a bank allows the seller to migrate the operational and macroeconomic risk to the financial market. This eventually allowed him to have a net asset discounted to the present value of the financing to not need to be 100 % of the investment. This was the innovative factor. To do that, Ethos tries to understand their personal and professional needs guaranteeing that it misses nothing about them and their families, which will allow them to stay focused 24/7. Ethos is well 13 June 2022

  10. Remember that when you fail you are one step ahead because you will not make the mistake that others may make. Never stop, because when someone stops, you will surpass them and make it possible. Advice for Younger Self When we asked Carlos to provide some suggestions for upcoming entrepreneurs, he said, "Work, always respect all the people around you. Understand that anyone can bring you something. And work hard. Never give up. When you lose, see it as a lesson and use it so that next time you won't repeat the same mistake." He also adds, "Remember that when you fail you are one step ahead because you will not make the mistake that others may make. Never stop, because when someone stops, you will surpass them and make it possible." known for the quality of its people, and its exceptional results show how differentiated it is. "We have an abundance of talent, no doubt, but beyond that, we also have a distinctly collaborative culture, which we have worked hard to preserve over the course of the pandemic. We have welcomed thousands of new potential clients to our firm in the past few years, and it was important to us that they experience first-hand what it's like to be Ethos."- adds Carlos. Ethos has a pay-for-performance culture, where it rewards people who drive its growth. However, it also has a shareholder-aligned compensation framework that entirely depends on the equity awards to incentivize long-term value creation, and that compensation can be adjusted according to the performance. 14 June 2022

It offers real-time connections to more than 250 SaaS applications, databases, ERPs, and CRM systems including Salesforce, NetSuite, Workday, ServiceNow, etc. Originally conceived as an appli- cation for integration, CData quickly pivoted to standard-based connectors that could be used along with any other data management solution. It was the first company to build ODBC, JDBC, and ADO.NET drivers for SaaS applications. The Steadfast Leader orn out of its culture of excellence in engineering and appreciation for standards, CData is a leader in the world of connec- CData is being led by its CEO and founder, Amit Sharma, who defines CData’s technical platform and business strategy. Amit’s leadership has helped his company to rise from a small start-up to a leading provider of data access and connectivity solutions. He pursued his schooling at a boarding school in Western India, followed by engineering in Central India. After completing his engineering degree, Amit joined Infosys in Bangalore. However, he CData also realized the need for a standard approach that can allow every system to communi- cate in the same way, as the APIs are inconsistent and prone to change. Soon business intelligence vendors like Tableau, Sisense, SAS, and data integration vendors like Informatica and Matillion, who needed a broad range of connectivity within their products, recognized CData’s approach. These initial OEM partnerships have later blossomed into partnerships with more than 150 vendors, which include companies like Google, Tibco, and Palantir. “ The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war. 16 June 2022

  12. The 10 Most Futuristic Business Leaders To Watch in 2022. soon moved to the U.S for his MS in Computer Networking at the NC State, where he was exposed to the start-up world. After completing his MS, Amit joined a wireless security start-up named Elixar, then went on to meet the other co-founders of CData at a North Carolina-based start-up called /n software. They enjoyed working with each other so much that they spent nearly a decade together before breaking into the connectivity space with CData in 2016. Christanto Suryadarma Sales Vice President Amit has also received his MBA degree from Duke Fuqua School of Business. Amit Sharma CEO | CData Software Under Amit’s leadership, CData now offers additional capabilities, including data integration with CData Sync, and application integration with CData Arc. Recently, thcompany has launched its first platform that offers direct, real-time connectivity as a service. CData Connect Cloud helps businesses manage their connectivity needs and leverage data within the application or platform of their choice without the need to build complex data pipelines. Amit strongly believes that a smart group of people who love working together can overcome any obstacle. So, he feels it was very important for him to build a passionate team where the culture is conducive to doing the best work. Industry Insights Influencing Factors Amit believes the data landscape for enterprises is quickly getting fragmented. Although the advent of SaaS applications simplified various business operations, they also fragmented business data in various clouds that are quite difficult to integrate. Most organizations use a multitude of different SaaS applications, each of which becomes their own data repository. Amit considers himself lucky to start his career at one of the most sought-after companies in India, Infosys. Then he followed it up by joining a start-up, which was ultimately destined to fail. Although the contrast could not be more dramatic, it influenced his choices from then on. Soon he was hooked to the energy, intensity, and excitement of building something new. 17 June 2022

  13. CData competes in a cutthroat market, where driver technology is easy to compare, and performance measurement can happen in milliseconds. Amit and the entire team at CData take pride in winning against every other product in terms of speed and stability, using their innovative techniques. “ Innovation is important, but it is essential to pair that with a rock-solid support system that gives our customers the freedom to advance their work. Under Amit’s leadership, CData has expanded its problem-solving culture to its customer success team. Customer Success is not only a part of its business, but it is the business for the company. CData’s data connectivity ensures the re-use of analytics systems and models that its customers have built currently. “ Amit says, “Innovation is important, but it is essential to pair that with a rock-solid support system that gives our customers the freedom to advance their work.” He feels, that watching his colleagues and team members build great careers and achieve their potential gives him tremendous satisfaction. He further adds, “What little part I had to play in that is very satisfying to me.” The first wave of integration trends was to bring everything together in a central data warehouse. However, this process was very costly to set up and possessed a lot of risks. Data movement had to be managed carefully, and security rules set up in the application were often lost. The CData team believes that the next wave of data integration is one of direct and real-time connectivity. In this wave of data integration, organizations will be able to leave their data where it originated and access it when needed. CData feels there are a few solutions to do that, and it intends to be a leader in that category. Motivating the Team CData employees are a competitive bunch of people, and Amit likes to remind the team that this small company based out of Chapel Hill, NC, helps powering a portion of the planet’s leading infrastructure software deployed within products from Tibco, Google, Tableau, and others. 18 June 2022

She says, "When I was about 11 years old, I decided I would have a different future. I didn't know how. Over the years, I learned that the richest families in the world had one thing in common: they all owned real estate. But I was certain I needed money to invest in real estate, which I didn't have then." Hiring the right people is always an exciting task. Building a company is a team sport. In order to thrive, you must have the right team. Cultural fit is as important as experiences. “ After graduating from MIT, Ellie founded Blue Lake Capital, where she buys multifamily properties across the U.S. while raising money from investors, overseeing the management of the assets, and executing renovations to increase rents and streamline expenses, until it's time to sell after roughly 2-5 years.

Advice for Young Entrepreneurs Current Market Landscape “ Ellie advises young entrepreneurs by saying, "The difference between dreamers and achievers is that achievers take the first step and stick to it. It's as simple as that. Don't let fear talk you out of doing something big. Others will advise you against it, but they are also motivated by fear. After all, fear is the thing that keeps us from the pain of failing because you can't fail what you don't do. Don't listen to that voice; acknowledge it and thank it for its attempts, but listen to the other voice that pushes you forward and take action." Although the real estate industry was highly competitive and tight, recently, it has started showing early signs of softening. Ellie believes that with the rising inflation and the Fed's rising interest rates, the market can soon witness a correction. She feels there will be more opportunities to purchase assets at a discount from owners who have overpaid for their assets. On the other hand, unlike the residential market in 2007, where investors could purchase a single-family home at a discount if they had cash, it makes little sense to pay in cash when it comes to large multifamily properties. Ellie says, "The multifamily lending scene has been more challenging than before; Increasing interest rates and lower LTVs play a significant role in the ability to make a smart purchase and seize opportunities." Achievement Ellie is proud that despite having grown up in challenging economic circumstances, she put herself through law school in Israel, transitioned her career in property management, and then earned a scholarship that helped her attend MIT for her MBA. This incredible journey has given her the strength to bring Blue Lake Capital where it is today. Since its foundation in 2017, in less than 5 years, Blue Lake Capital was able to exit 6 deals, with an average IRR to investors of 31%. 30 June 2022
