I have known Ridwan C. Kidjo for more than 20 years, when Ceres entrusted DwiSapta as the advertising agency for Ceres products. In my opinion, Ridwan is a great and successful person, having succeeded in the success of Ceres products such as SilverQueen and Meises Ceres. During the decades of working together, I see Ridwan as a “Good Man” who is humble and very cooperative. Thank you for the trust given to DwiSapta so far

ALVIN MARYONO

The Relationship of Retailers and Suppliers / Manufacturers / FMCG Brands has its ups and downs, often despite common goal for sales growth and consumer satisfaction, the way each party build their profitability model are pretty different and that is where we need open minded and open hearted professionals and leaders that have the resilience to bridge the gap or to rebuild that bridge wherever there are growing gaps. Pak Ridwan is one of the few leaders I know in the industry who drive the business with that quality: he comes with open mind and heart, positive spirit and creativity, and engages the retailers with win-win and sustainable resolution in building business together, while keep the focus on the consumers.

GARY PIRONO

I want to tell a little story about a veteran who has long involved in FMCGs marketing, Mr. Ridwan C Kidjo.
His view of distributors is quite different, he sees distributors as partners, not just subordinates.
When we first joined CERES, we were a small distributor from remote areas of the east. But he welcomed us very well without making us feel like small distributors. The way he treats us like a big distributor makes us eager to pursue our targets and does not want to disappoint him who really trusts us.
As long as I have known Pak Ridwan, he is an extraordinary figure. He is particularly good at socializing and placing himself, the way he reads situations and makes decisions is so wise that he is even a generous and friendly figure.
On the other side, he can be a tough and very tough person when we cannot reach the target or make mistakes. The way he treats us really motivates us. That is why we value and respect him so much.
HARRY PIRONO
Founder of SAGA Supermarket Group and CV. Maju Makmur Jayapura
I have known pak Ridwan to be a very experienced professional in his field and a very capable negotiator, as well as an expert at maintaining business relationships.
HARRYANTO SUSANTO
Merchandising Director, PT Sumber Alfaria Trijaya Tbk. (ALFAMART)
Pak Ridwan is a figure who gives a humanist side in maximizing results.
In the technology era, the “personal” approach is often neglected, even though whem this is walking hand in hand will provide maximum results.

Bro RCK … I know you have been over 17 years if I am not mistaken. When I first met bro, I was still studying in one of the Pura divisions, namely the Offset Division, at that time I was a marketing support staff. I knew bro at the time of developing a new product owned by PT Ceres where at that time bro was one of the decision makers for the development product. If I am not mistaken, bro was already the manager at that time. Our relationship remained until bro became commercial director. Where we often function as our owner-owner meeting bridge. What I remember most about bro is a hard worker who does not know time and place, Bro is a person who is persistent in making new achievements, is honest, and loyal to the company. I have walked with bro several times both to customers such as distributors, retailers, or to the mall, where I can see Bro is also one of the leaders who is firm and courageous to defend and build a commercial team. I have seen it several times when I have attended meetings with them…
JOHANES SLAMET HARJANTO
President Director, PT Pura Barutama and PT Pura Nusa Persada
“Learning from mistakes we have made” is the basis of Pak Ridwan’s strengths who want to share
knowledge for commercial managers who are often frustrated in carrying out their duties. In terms of his years of experience as a supplier, Mr. Ridwan has a lot of solid and influential evidence and facts to be able to improve the performance of these commercial managers and all of that can be learned if they take this 100 hour course.
JOSEPH BUNTARAN LIEM

I have known Ridwan for a long time. Approximately 20 years …
He is a very humble figure. There was no pride in him at all. A smart person, sociable, and always maintains good relationships with his extensive and many relationships. With his experience in various fields, he has broad insights and knowledge. You could say he was someone who knew everything. Not stingy also in sharing insights and knowledge. So that I also got valuable lessons from him. Rich in knowledge and insight but not stingy to share…
Always success Pa Ridwan… keep on being good…

“For almost 20 years I worked under the coordination of P. Ridwan C. Kidjo, so I had many opportunities to learn many things not only in the field of distribution but also given the opportunity to learn and do things outside of my responsibility such as finance, accounting, tax, logistics, computers, etc. It’s really an especially useful opportunity in my current line of work”.
He does not give fish but gives a hook which is useful for survival.

The market in Indonesia is extraordinarily complex. This requires a good and precise Sales, Distribution and Marketing strategy to master it.
Pak Ridwan C Kidjo is a person who has 30 years of experience in the field of Sales, Distribution and Marketing as well as an extraordinarily strong Network in the Indonesian Market today.
He is a very smart person (proven by him as a member of MENSA), humble, particularly good at the market, very updated with market developments and not stingy in sharing knowledge.
For me personally Pak Ridwan is a figure of friends, teachers, and brothers who are always ready to help at any time. Through PT Sahabat Dwipantara Makmur, hopefully Pak Ridwan can further develop and expand his Network.
