Tiza Mafira’s turning point began in her hotel room after a day that changed her life. She had just helped a client purchase a stretch of green paddy fields to be transformed into a cement plant. The deal was signed, yet something felt deeply wrong. That night, she decided she did not want to use her skills to harm the environment she cared about. She left corporate law soon after, determined to channel her legal expertise toward protecting the planet instead.
Today, Tiza leads the Indonesia Plastic Bag Diet Movement and serves as Director at the Climate Policy Initiative in Jakarta. Her work is steady, deliberate, and grounded in the belief that small changes build real transformation. She helped push bans on single-use plastic bags across more than a hundred cities, including Jakarta and Bali, and continues to ensure those policies hold.
Between deadlines and policy meetings, she carves out time for her daughters by reading together before bed, or transforming cardboard boxes into miniature houses. These special moments remind her of what all the long hours of hard work are for: to protect the kind of world her children deserve, a world they can still play and dream in. Tiza wears the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding.
