UNAIR NEWS<\/strong> \u2013 In today\u2019s professional world, data analysis skills are a vital foundation for career growth. Lussi Agustin, an alumna of the Statistics Program at the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST), Universitas Airlangga<\/a> (UNAIR), is a testament to this.<\/p>\n\n

Combining her background in statistics with an entrepreneurial drive, Agustin, now leads PT Cemerlang Statistika Indonesia (StatsMe), a research consulting firm that has grown into a nationally recognized company. After graduating in 2016, she began her business modestly, offering data analysis services to students for academic research.<\/p>\n\n

What started as a small venture with a few friends soon evolved into a professional enterprise. As client demand increased, the company\u2019s focus expanded beyond individuals to larger corporations and institutions.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cAt first, our main clients were students, but we later shifted toward government agencies. In 2017, we officially registered as a limited company, and we\u2019ve continued to grow ever since,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n

Today, StatsMe, initially based in Surabaya, East Java, has expanded to several major cities, including Mojokerto, Surakarta, Depok, and Makassar. The company is now preparing to open additional branches in East Kalimantan, Central Sulawesi, and Sumatra.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n
Multidisciplinary collaboration<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

As director, Agustin oversees daily operations, team development, and cross-sector partnerships. She emphasized the importance of innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration in business. \u201cOur foundation is in Statistics, but we now work with institutions in a variety of fields. Data, after all, plays a role in nearly every sector,\u201d she explained. <\/p>\n\n

In leading her team, Agustin also fosters a workplace culture rooted in growth, learning, and adaptability. StatsMe organizes regular training sessions and team gatherings twice a year to build both skills and motivation. \u201cI always remind my team not to settle too quickly. We must stay open to new ideas and evolving trends,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n

Interestingly, Agustin later returned to UNAIR to pursue a master\u2019s degree in Public Policy. \u201cBecause our company often collaborates with government agencies, I wanted to understand how policies are made and how that process can be integrated with data,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n

Leadership and women\u2019s empowerment<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

Throughout her career, Agustin has been committed to empowering women in the workplace. She shared that, from the very beginning, StatsMe\u2019s team has been predominantly female. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t make distinctions based on gender, but I believe women must be empowered and driven to succeed. Being a woman in leadership is challenging, but it\u2019s absolutely possible,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n

As a leader, Agustin places strong emphasis on professionalism and research quality. For her, research is not only about results but also about client service. \u201cMaintaining good relationships with clients is essential, not only by delivering strong results but also by providing service that exceeds expectations,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n\n

Importance of knowledge and professionalism<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Reflecting on her career journey, Agustin credited her academic experience at UNAIR for shaping her professional foundation. She believes success in research requires a balance between hard skills and soft skills.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cTechnical expertise is crucial, but soft skills are just as important because we interact with people who are highly knowledgeable. Both must grow together,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n\n

Agustin encouraged UNAIR students and alumni not to fear starting small. \u201cBeing a pioneer means having the courage to begin. Ideas are everywhere, but without execution, they\u2019ll never become real. Everything must be backed by solid data and research,\u201d she advised. <\/p>\n\n

For Agustin, success is not just measured by a company\u2019s longevity but also by the positive impact it creates. \u201cWe\u2019re responsible not only for ourselves but also for our team and their families. That\u2019s why everything we do must be carried out with full dedication,\u201d she concluded. <\/p>\n\n
