Born in Mambi, West Sulawesi, Rudy Alfonso has worked in various institutions with a wide government network in Indonesia, both at the central and regional level. Formerly served as a diplomat, Rudy earned his higher education from State Crypto Academy and the Faculty of Law of Krisnadwipayana University in Jakarta.

For him, knowledge is a human tool to help others with solutions to their problems. This principle has pushed him pursue a career in law and becoming an advocator.
