# John W. Limbong

John W. Limbong (born 1957) is an Indonesian educator and businessman who is the founder and president of the University of International Golden Indonesia. He received a MS in economics in 1982 from Brigham Young University (BYU) and subsequently earned a PhD from the University of Utah in 1982. Limbong says that while a student at BYU, one night he had a dream where Brigham Young visited him and asked him to establish a university in Limbong's native Jakarta, Indonesia. Limbong vacillated, as he worked for Bank Indonesia for a while, but he later quit that job to pursue this dream.
