She is also the founder of *MahaRaja Eco Dive Lodge* in Indonesia, and of *Blue Green Passion*, an eco-incubation company based in Singapore. ## What triggered your interest in French Tech?   I started out in aeronautical engineering, then moved into IT and later into renewable energy business development and strategy. Along the way, I developed a passion for emerging technologies, especially AI and blockchain. What I love about tech is how it makes even the wildest ideas possible, and how easy it is to shift between fields, using past experiences to build something new. For me, tech is a bridge between creativity and impact, which aligns perfectly with my journey across multiple sectors. ## The thing you're most proud of?   Building *MahaRaja Eco Dive Lodge* from scratch on a remote, paradisiac island in Indonesia. We applied 100% environmentally friendly practices and involved the local Papuan community at every step of the process. It was both a personal and professional milestone, a project that blends sustainability, local engagement, and a deep respect for nature. ## What is your wildest career goal?   I have many bold ideas, but the next one is particularly close to my heart: a disruptive concept that brings together wine, art, AI, finance, and ecology to open a brand-new market segment. It’s still under wraps, but stay tuned, it may become a reality sooner than you think. ##  If you could go back in time, is there anything you would do differently?   I would allow myself to give up. That might sound unexpected, but in the past, my enthusiasm and perseverance sometimes made me ignore red flags, I pushed forward when I should have taken a step back. Over the years, I’ve learned that knowing when to let go is a true sign of strength. It’s a quiet power that women often possess but sometimes overlook while striving to prove themselves. Today, I embrace that balance between determination and discernment.   ***[Connect with Mahasti Motazedi on Linkedin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mahasti/) Get in touch with us @* *womenfrenchtech at gmail dot com****In collaboration with* [*Amel Rigneau*](https://www.linkedin.com/in/amelrigneau/) *&* [Romeo Aguilar Bernard ](http://www.linkedin.com/in/roméo-aguilar-bernard) Previous Post ###### [Interview of Perrine Hamel, Assistant Professor at Nanyang Technological University](https://frenchtech.sg/articles/interview-of-perrine-hamel-assistant-professor-at-nanyang-technological-university) Next Post ###### [Interview of Nathalie Risteau, Founder of Sunollo](https://frenchtech.sg/articles/interview-of-nathalie-risteau-co-founder-of-sunollo) ### Similar Blog Posts #### [Discussion with Nicolas Colin, co-Founder of TheFamily](https://frenchtech.sg/articles/discussion-with-nicolas-colin-co-founder-of-thefamily) [![](https://frenchtech.sg/hs-fs/hubfs/4-2.png?width=352&name=4-2.png)](https://frenchtech.sg/articles/interview-of-thiphaine-le-roy-co-founder-cpo-cmo-of-tikino) #### [Interview of Thiphaine Le Roy, co-founder, CPO CMO of Tikino](https://frenchtech.sg/articles/interview-of-thiphaine-le-roy-co-founder-cpo-cmo-of-tikino) [![](https://frenchtech.sg/hs-fs/hubfs/Interview%20of%20(1)-1.png?width=352&name=Interview%20of%20(1)-1.png)](https://frenchtech.sg/articles/4458-2-0) #### [Interview of Sophie Normand, Co-Founder and COO](https://frenchtech.sg/articles/4458-2-0) [![academia-logo](https://frenchtech.sg/hubfs/raw_assets/public/@marketplace/MakeWebBetter/Academia/images/icons/academia-logo-white.svg)](https://www.hubspot.com/) Academia is one of the best educational theme with which you can create astounding websites.
