Mark F. Winkel

Principal Advisor

Mark has spent his entire career in communications and worked in Indonesia since 1992. Mostly involved in strategic communications, stakeholder engagement and reputation management, Mark helps companies and organizations tell their stories.

Some of his signature projects include a listing on the NYSE, the re-organization of Pertamina's corporate communications, the @America public diplomacy center, the BalinaleX film industry forum, and the master plans for the Indonesia Pavilions at Expo 2017 Astana (Kazakhstan) and Expo 2020 Dubai. Mark has also coached digital start-ups for Plug and Play and digital and film start-ups for BEKRAF (the government body overseeing the creative economy).

He is a graduate of Haverford, the oldest Quaker college in the U.S., with a B.A. in Political Science, and the International School of Geneva, where his basketball team won the Swiss National Championship. In addition to Bahasa Indonesia, he still speaks some French and German and other languages from a decade in Asia.

Mark has been elected four times to AmCham's Board of Governors. He is a trained barista (who sometimes pulls espresso shots at Rul's Coffee Gallery), a former climber of volcanos and now an avid road cyclist who has biked more than 5,000km across the archipelago.
