Bio

As Senior Associate on the China Desk at Dezan Shira & Associates Indonesia, Stella serves as a principal point of contact for Chinese-invested enterprises entering and scaling in the Indonesian market. She leads bilingual client advisory and cross-departmental coordination across corporate establishment, tax, HR, and compliance, and drives the desk's business development — building referral and delivery-partner networks that connect Chinese outbound direct investment (ODI) with local execution capacity across Southeast Asia.

Stella began her career in professional services in audit and financial assurance, before moving into commercial advisory and international business expansion. She has since specialised in advising Chinese corporations on establishing and structuring operations in Indonesia. Her sector focus tracks the core drivers of China–Indonesia investment, including but not limited to nickel down streaming and EV/battery, industrial manufacturing, digital infrastructure, and garment production industries.

Beyond client delivery, Stella has developed the desk's coordinated service for Chinese manufacturers for site acquisition, including purchase and/or leasing in Indonesia, and serves as Indonesia contact point for the group's cross-border M&A and investment-matching portal, feeding qualified local opportunities to outbound investors.

Before joining Dezan Shira & Associates, Stella held roles in audit at a Big Four firm and in corporate marketing within the commercial real estate sector, giving her a combined foundation in financial compliance, client-facing advisory, and market-facing business development.

Fluent in Mandarin Chinese, English, and Bahasa Indonesia, Stella bridges Chinese investors and the Indonesian regulatory and commercial environment.
