Co-Founder and CEO, Potato Head Family

Tatler Asia

For redefining Indonesian hospitality through design, culture and regenerative tourism

Since opening the first Potato Head in 2009, Ronald Akili, 2017 Gen.T honouree, has redefined Indonesian hospitality by blending design, culture and sustainability into destinations with global appeal. The co-founder of Potato Head transformed the brand into Desa Potato Head Bali, a creative village that has been named to The World's 50 Best Hotels for three consecutive years and received the Eco Hotel Award in 2025. Beyond hospitality, his Community Waste Project helps businesses tackle Bali's waste crisis through collective recycling initiatives. In 2025, Akili was recognised as one of TIME's 100 Climate Leaders for advancing regenerative tourism.
