KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Hermawan Kartajaya
Topic: Reimagining Operational Excellence – Inspirations from Asia

Hermawan Kartajaya is a globally recognised visionary in modern marketing, renowned for his collaboration with Philip Kotler, the Father of Modern Marketing, in co-authoring twelve influential books since 1998. As the Founder and Chair of MCorp, Southeast Asia’s leading professional services firm in marketing consulting, research, and training, and the holding company of MarkPlus Inc. and MarkPlus Institute, he has played a pivotal role in shaping marketing practices across the region.
Kartajaya's visionary contributions have earned him esteemed accolades, including recognition as one of the "50 Gurus Who Have Shaped the Future of Marketing" by the United Kingdom’s Chartered Institute of Marketing in 2003, and the Distinguished Global Leadership Award from the Pan-Pacific Business Association at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2009.
He has also been honored with a Lifetime Achievement in Marketing Award from Jawa Pos, an honorary doctorate (Doctor Honoris Causa in 2010) from ITS Surabaya, and Honorary Fellowship Awards from the Marketing Institute of Singapore (MIS) and the Institute of Marketing Malaysia (IMM).
His profound insights into the evolving landscape of marketing have garnered international acclaim, reflected in the widespread translations of his seminal book series, Marketing X.0, as well as the success of his other book series with Philip Kotler, Entrepreneurial Marketing, which introduces a fresh entrepreneurial marketing approach, converging dichotomies between entrepreneurship and professionalism into a coherent form.
With a unique blend of strategic foresight and practical expertise, Kartajaya continues to inspire and empower marketing professionals worldwide. His keynote address promises to offer invaluable insights and perspectives on the challenges and opportunities facing the African marketing community.
