We are delighted to have appointed Masyita Crystallin as Partner and Head of Sustainable Finance and Policy, Asia Pacific. With over a decade’s experience spanning government, finance and industry, Masyita is poised to supercharge Systemiq’s impact in the region, particularly to help mobilize capital for Indonesia’s green growth agenda.

Masyita brings a wealth of experience from the public and private sector, including serving as Senior Advisor to Indonesia’s Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of Maritime and Investment Affairs. She has also held senior roles at prestigious institutions including the World Bank, the World Resources Institute, DBS Bank, and Indonesia’s state-owned holding company for insurance, underwriting and capital markets (IFG). Masyita is currently the Deputy Co-chair of the Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action, where she continues to play a pivotal role in reforming international and domestic financial systems to accelerate climate action.

Masyita’s appointment underscores the growing demand for sustainability solutions in the Asia Pacific region, and strengthens Systemiq’s ability to work with APAC governments, investors and businesses to generate value from sustainability. It also highlights Systemiq’s commitment to climate leadership from the Global South as part of its growing footprint in Indonesia and Brazil.

Systemiq has been an agent of systemic change globally”, said Masyita Crystallin. “I am truly humbled to take on this responsibility and am excited to work with our partners as we demonstrate the growth opportunities that exist in our transition to a net zero economy. For Indonesia and the Asia Pacific region, the transition to a low-carbon, nature-positive and equitable society is a major investment opportunity. It can create millions of jobs, enhance resilience to economic and environmental challenges, and reduce health issues and poverty simultaneously.

We are also delighted to confirm the appointment of Peter Hulshof as Partner, Energy Transition, based in the Netherlands.

“Systemiq is committed to supporting and partnering with investors, government, business and civil society to build a better economy. We are thrilled to welcome Masyita to spearhead our sustainable finance and climate policy efforts in Asia Pacific. She plays a crucial role as Co-chair Deputy at the Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action and her system change leadership can be transformative in one of the world’s most critical regions for climate action.”

“Masyita’s appointment comes at the right time as Systemiq continues to support Indonesia in realising its ambitious economic and environmental targets. To realise them, Indonesia will need a new growth story and I believe opportunities in the green transition and in technology will be a central part of this. I look forward to seeing Masyita’s impact in Indonesia and the wider region.”

"We’re excited to welcome Masyita to Systemiq’s Sustainable Finance leadership team. She has a proven track record in designing and unlocking capital for low-carbon technologies and nature-based solutions. These solutions are scaling every year – declining in cost and improving in performance. Emerging markets and developing economies, especially in ASEAN, are uniquely placed to capture the benefits of these technologies.

The choices made by businesses and governments in the next five years will define global competitiveness and Masyita’s leadership will be pivotal in seizing these opportunities. We look forward to working together with Masyita to drive positive climate finance tipping points across ASEAN and fostering strong collaborations in other emerging economies across Latin America, Africa and the Middle East.”
