enowned senior banker Robby ‘Rodjo’ Djohan, whom worked in the banking industry for more than 30 years, passed away on Friday afternoon, at the age of 78.
"Let us pray that God grants him the best place in the afterlife," an Infobank spokesperson said in a message to thejakartapost.com, adding that Robby died on Friday afternoon at the Puri Cinere Hospital in Jakarta.
Born in Semarang, on August 1, 1938, the former 1950's era actor was among the bankers that helped to establish the largest bank in Indonesia, in terms of assets, Bank Mandiri Tbk.
Having graduated in economics at Padjadjaran Universitas (Unpad), Bandung, West Java, Robby first joined the banking industry with Citibank, before leading Bank Niaga (now Bank CIMB-Niaga) to become one of leading private banks in the country.
Robby was also known for his role in restructuring Indonesia’s biggest airlines Garuda Indonesia Tbk, a move that prevented the state-owned airline from falling into bankruptcy.
Robby and his wife Nanan Hadiretna had three daughters. (ags)
