Nominee statement
I am honored to be nominated for the APNIC EC election, and I firmly believe my experiences and forward-thinking ideas will prove invaluable to the community. I believe in "One World, One Internet" and embracing Digital Globalisation. Furthermore, I hope to effect changes such as protecting the value of IP address registration for all members , promoting IPv6, and the stability of internet governance. I will also advocate embracing the IPv4 market and fostering healthy competition within it. Additionally, as a member of PTC (Pacific Telecommunications Council Advisory Council), and with an extensive resume and network, I am perfectly poised to be a key and essential member of the APNIC Executive Council.
I attended the University of Groningen from 2008 to 2012. After that, I worked in the Netherlands, where I learned in-depth about internet practices such as internet service providers (ISPs), infrastructure hosting, and cloud computing. This knowledge proved to be priceless and helped me establish an extensive network in the internet industry. Having foreseen the growth and potential of the Internet, I created LARUS Limited in 2016.
As the Founder & CEO at LARUS Limited, my primary goal and vision are to ensure everyone has access to internet connection services regardless of race or economic class. LARUS Limited is a market leader for reliable IP solutions globally, and we are still working hard to reach our goal of ensuring that everyone has access to the Internet.
My work, however, is not limited to business. I have sought to educate the next generation on internet practices and governance, especially in developing countries. In these countries, millions do not have access to a good and stable internet connection. To combat this, I established the LARUS Foundation in 2019 - a non-profit organisation that promotes internet education to ensure that the next generation has extensive knowledge of the Internet and how it works. Since its conception and until today, LARUS Foundation has educated and sponsored thousands of students in developing countries, helping them learn more about the Internet and attending international conferences.
As the world struggles in these uncertain times, we must all come together to create a community of ambitious, determined, and like-minded individuals who are striving towards the same goal. I am eager to be a part of these efforts, and I promise to exhaust all avenues and resources available to me to accomplish the goals of APNIC EC.
