Rudy Ramawy
Rudy Ramawy, Managing Partner of Indonesia-based early-stage VC firm Venturra, passed away on Thursday.
He was 51.
The passing was so sudden, local media reported quoting Lippo Group’s Deputy Chairman Henry Riady. Lippo Group is the largest Limited Partner of Venturra.
“Our doctors have just declared Rudy Ramawy dead a few minutes ago after performing resuscitation for half an hour at the MRCCC hospital,” a message obtained by local media firm Merdek said.
Ramwy had over 20 years of experience in FMCG, media, marketing, and general management. A Chemical Engineer from the University of California, Berkeley, Ramawy held roles P&G, Sony Music Entertainment, Axis, and RCTI.
He founded Venturra in 2015, along with Lippo Group Director John Riady and former Rocket Internet Managing Partner Stefan Jung. Before founding Venturra, Ramawy was the founding Country Director of Google Indonesia. He also held the role of the deputy CEO at Lippo subsidiary Multipolar.
