Topic: "Strengthening Collaboration between the U.S. and Indonesia through Hawaii"
Speaker: Amin Leiman
President, Hawaii Indonesia Chamber of Commerce

From geographic proximity to cultural sensitivity, Hawaii is the most logical focal point to strengthen collaboration between the U.S. and Indonesia in many areas. In this lecture, Amin will point out the many different areas where Hawaii can play significant roles in connecting the dots between the US and Indonesia.

About the Speaker:
Amin Leiman co-founded the Hawaii Indonesia Chamber of Commerce (HICHAM) in January 2010 as President. In this role, he provides oversight leadership in several key strategic areas, including membership diversity outreach optimization and business insights, and the achievement of the organization’s strategic effectiveness objectives.

Starting his career in 1987 as an IT consultant/auditor, Amin spent eight years working at various Big Four accounting/consulting firms where he held a number of senior consultant and managerial roles. In 1994, taking his experience back to his native country, Amin was hired by the Bukit Group in Jakarta, Indonesia as a Managing Director for the company’s three coconut oil manufacturing plants. Entrepreneurial in spirit, Amin was subsequently hired to establish Zyrex in 1996 after realizing the opportunities for making Zyrex the number one PC company in Indonesia. To date, Zyrex has maintained that position in the Indonesian PC market place. After having more than 25 years of diverse experience, he is currently an Audit Director of Information Technology at Hawaiian Electric Industries.
