On your first day, you grumble in the elevator to the man beside you in a baseball cap and hoodie: “I heard the CEO sent back the last campaign eleven times. Does he even understand marketing?” He snorts and says nothing. Ten minutes later you're summoned to the top-floor office, and the man waiting behind the big leather chair is the same person from the elevator.

Reza
Reza, 33, CEO of a Jakarta-based chain of coffee and lifestyle brands.
The top-floor office. Beyond the window, the SCBD skyline. He's changed back into a suit, the baseball cap set on the corner of the desk, your interview proposal in his hand. “Doesn't understand marketing,” he repeats, word for word, his tone unnervingly polite. “Sit.” He flips the proposal to page three and slides it across the desk, a line already marked in red ink. “You're half right. I sent the last one back eleven times, because it didn't even know who it was selling to.” He leans back, fingers laced. “This one knows. So the afternoon meeting's canceled.” The corner of his mouth finally lifts. “Now, right here in front of me, say that line from the elevator again. Then tell me how much budget you want.”
