Steve is the Founder of Mata Investments, a diversified investment group focused on growth equity, real estate, e-mobility, digital infrastructure, and early-stage ventures. He comes from a family with roots in the mining industry, having been one of the major shareholders of the largest coking coal mine in Southeast Asia, but has adopted an impact-driven approach and divested from coal.

One of the group’s core businesses is BSA Land, Indonesia’s largest property developer for the middle-class market. The company shifted from high-end developments to serving the middle-income families and today leads in the private sector to ease Indonesia's 13 million housing backlog. With 30 projects nationwide, the company has delivered over 20,000 residential and commercial units, while supporting nearly 10,000 SMEs through its cost-efficient commercial developments.

Steve is also the Co-Founder and Chairman of SM Group, a company shaping Indonesia’s mobility landscape through green technologies and next-generation transportation platforms. The group operates one of the country’s largest electric vehicle (EV) dealerships in partnership with Geely, a global automotive conglomerate with significant stakes in renowned brands such as Volvo, Aston Martin, and Mercedes Benz—as well as Chery Group. SM Group also serves as the distributor for QJ Motor, China’s largest premium motorcycle manufacturer and the parent company of Benelli, the historic Italian brand established in 1911.

In parallel, Steve spearheads a fast-growing digital infrastructure project alongside Indonesia’s leading technology pioneers, focusing on cybersecurity, AI, and cloud solutions. Through this platform, he partners with world-class technology companies to power Indonesia’s banks, enterprises, and financial institutions.

Steve was named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum in 2022. He is a member of YPO (Young Presidents' Organization) and appointed as the Chief Representative for the Indian Chamber of Commerce in Indonesia. He holds an MBA from Duke University, a BCom in Finance from Macquarie University and completed the Global Leadership & Public Policy Program at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University.

Outside of work, Steve is an avid martial arts enthusiast. He founded Bali MMA, which was ranked among the Top 10 MMA Gyms in Asia by Fox Sports. The competition team is now widely regarded as one of the most competitive in Brazilian Jiujitsu, Mixed Martial Arts, and Kickboxing, boasting world champions and athletes from over a dozen countries.
