Our Team
Meet the people who bring life to our small social enterprise! We love what we do (even though it's hard) and want you to feel how much you matter to us! It's YOU who make all the changes we're making in our villages and beyond after all. Thank you for being part of our little family :)!
Denica Riadini-Flesch
Founder & CEO
Denica is a nerd who cares. As a development economist, she saw first hand the challenges faced by women in last mile communities throughout her native Indonesia. This drove her to build a bridge, connecting you with the women who have been kept invisible for too long. Her 2 favorite things are researching and fieldtripping to meet the Ibus.
Bertram Flesch
Chief Sustainability Officer
Bertram pushes the boundaries of sustainability by building partnerships to create climate positive clothes. Originally from Germany, he has spent over a decade in Indonesia. His experience working in vocational education reform has been crucial in the development of Rumah SukkhaCitta's curriculum. His favorite thing is our Ibus' homemade snacks.

Ana is the most fashionable of us all. She worked as a fashion designer in London and Bali before deciding that she wanted her work to have meaning.

Gita Riestiyani
Chief Happiness Officer
Gita is the heart of our team!!! Her smile is one of the most heartwarming thing ever. She brings life into the office with her cute sounds and claps ever time there's a #MadeRight order (yep, triggered by you!). When asked why, she said each order gives hope. For the Ibus and everyone behind the clothes. An opportunity to keep doing good in the world.
