Ade Meutia — Founder of Enabled., Oxford MBA

About

A founder who started from the ward, not the deck.

Ade Meutia is the Founder of Enabled., a foundation supporting approximately 250 Indonesian pediatric tracheostomy patients and children with special needs.

Her work combines a circular donation model, strategic partnerships, and evidence generation to improve access to life-changing care — equipment reaches the next family, hospitals gain a referral path, and outcomes are recorded rather than assumed.

Before founding Enabled., Tia worked across banking strategy, venture capital, and e-commerce before pursuing an MBA at the University of Oxford.

“Healthcare system issues are meant to be solved by patients, as long as everyone else is incentivised based on sickness.”
