It’s been a while since we turned the spotlight on some of our advisors, but today we are very pleased to be able to publicly announce three new additions to the HARA advisory board: Charles Pyo, Darius Rugevicius, and Hendy Setiono. All three of the new advisors have a widely different skillset and will help us steer our organization in the right direction as we move towards expanding our operations around the globe.

Charles Pyo is a Korean technology entrepreneur and blockchain evangelist. He is the CEO and founder of Chain Partners, the first blockchain company builder in Korea that has numerous subsidiaries operating in every core area of the blockchain world.

“I believe one of the benefits that blockchain will bring is maximizing the utility of data silos. In my personal view, the way that Airbnb utilized empty rooms and Uber used vehicles, the next Idle resource will be data. And I believe the agriculture sector will be one of the first sectors where data can be utilized. In this view, I believe HARA has the potential to be a success case.” — Charles Pyo

HARA is the first blockchain company that Pyo has ever endorsed on a personal title. In his role as advisor, Pyo will use his vast expertise of growing blockchain ventures to guide HARA, ensuring our growth will reach its full potential.

Darius Rugevicius is the Managing Partner at Connect Capital, a blockchain and digital assets investment fund that takes a venture capitalist approach. The company aims to link industry pioneers and prosperous advocates by providing a platform that thrives through its strong network and dedication to accelerating success.

“I am very passionate about emerging markets and I do believe that HARA is well positioned to be the leading project in Indonesia. HARA has a great potential to impact thousands and hopefully millions lives in its local market of Indonesia, by enabling ordinary people to learn, interact, and utilize blockchain technology.” — Darius Rugevicius

Rugevicius previously held a position as Value Engineer at CIVITTA, in which he was part of a VC team responsible for numerous startup initiatives in Europe, and was a Partner at Prime Block Capital, an investment fund focused on blockchain technology. His experience with guiding the development of blockchain companies from a VC perspective will be invaluable to the success of HARA.

Hendy Setiono is the founder and CEO of Baba Rafi Enterprise, a holding company consisting of various award-winning local food brands.

Mr. Setiono founded the company at the young age of 19, opening the first outlet of Kebab Turki Baba Rafi with starting capital borrowed from his family. Since then, the company has experienced a rapid growth both domestically and internationally to over a thousand different outlets.

With his vast knowledge of the investment landscape in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, Mr. Setiono will assist the growth of HARA by facilitating the outreach to new stakeholders.
