JAKARTA – The Indonesian banking industry once again showcases its pride through female leadership. In the prestigious CNN Indonesia Leading Women Awards 2026, held at the Bank Mega Tower Auditorium on Tuesday (5/5), the Vice President Director of Bank Artha Graha International, Christina Harapan, was officially named the award recipient in the Business and Industry category.

Christina received the award for "Outstanding Leader in Digital Banking & Inclusive Growth." This accolade serves as tangible proof of her vision and dedication in steering digital transformation at Bank Artha Graha International while prioritizing inclusive economic growth for all levels of society. She is not just a bank executive, but also a figure instrumental in bridging the financial sector with social impact. At Artha Graha, she focuses on modernization and business growth, while through Artha Graha Peduli, she helps drive humanitarian programs and community empowerment.

Under her leadership, Bank Artha Graha International continues to innovate in providing digital banking solutions that simplify customer needs. However, for Christina, technology is not merely a tool for efficiency, but a bridge to embrace sectors that have long been untouched by formal financial services (unbanked and underserved).

The grand theme of this year's awards, "Empowered Women, Empowering The Nation," is clearly reflected in Christina's business strategy. She has successfully proven that female leadership in the financial sector can bring a significant touch of change to strengthen the national economy.

The event, opened by the Founder/Chairperson of the CT Arsa Foundation, Anita Ratnasari Tanjung, emphasized that the trophy presented is a symbol of the inspiring legacy left by women leaders. "This is not just about giving a trophy; it is about the footprints left by great women for our beloved nation, Indonesia," Anita stated in her opening speech.

In the same category, Christina Harapan stood alongside a row of other formidable female leaders in the business sector, such as Grace Tahir (Mayapada Hospital), Vera Eve Lim (BCA), and Nurhayati Subakat (Paragon).

Christina’s presence on the list of awardees reinforces Bank Artha Graha International's position as an institution that is adaptive to global technological developments while remaining steadfast in its social commitment to driving financial literacy and inclusion in Indonesia. This award is expected to inspire other female professionals in the banking industry to continue innovating and delivering a broad positive impact on national development.
