I’ve known Stephen Hutagaol (Gaol) for over 20 years since we were both still single and we used to hang out two to three times a week for Capsa nights and drinks. I was his best man at his wedding, and I’ve always known he’s the kind of guy who has clear standards, knows what he wants, and goes after it. He was picky about finding the right woman, so it made me genuinely happy when he married someone good who also came from our small group circle. Gaol may not show it in a soft way, but he loves his family deeply and will always stand up for them.

Pak Stephan orangnya sangat detail dan tajam. Dari beberapa kali diskusi dan konsultasi, terlihat jelas pemahamannya terhadap berbagai celah penting dalam perjanjian, terutama yang berkaitan dengan praktik perusahaan besar. Yang saya suka, beliau selalu objektif - tidak selalu mendorong kontrak, tapi menjelaskan kapan memang perlu, apa pro dan kontranya, dan kapan cukup dimulai dengan kesepakatan verbal. Di luar itu, Pak Stephan juga sosok yang genuinely support teman-teman di BNI, sering menghubungkan, mereferensikan, bahkan menggunakan produk rekan-rekannya. Buat saya, ini kombinasi yang kuat antara kompetensi, integritas, dan sikap kolaboratif.
