About Aahh Bali Owners:

BOB

Bob has worked as a Financial Analyst, Senior Accountant, Controller, and Consultant, holds a BS, MBA and PhD in business and has spent the majority of his life self-employed, serving clients. 20 years in a credit card processing company of his own creation. He created a niche between merchants and banks to give the small businessman a better credit card rate. After selling that business, he owned and operated  apartment units,  single-family homes, duplexes, 4 plexes, and multi-unit complexes for the next 15 years. Throughout his career, he has focused on customer service. He lost less than 1% of his client base to competition over the 20 years in the credit card business. As a landlord he had very low tenant turnover because he was always responsive to the needs of his tenants, and continually upgraded the properties. He literally traveled the world looking for the perfect retirement spot and chose Bali. Then he was fortunate enough to team up with Lydia to create an award winning hospitality team.

Lydia

Lydia (Lyds) earned her law degree, at which time she discovered that wasn’t her passion and attended culinary school in Jakarta. She graduated with honors and landed a job as a chef for a cruise ship line. Then she was hired as a chef for a major 5-star hotel in Singapore. She moved to Bali and started her own catering and event company. Aside from being an accomplished Chef she grew up being trained as an herbalist and has a background in herbal medicine. Studying plants and their health benefits.  In addition to that she is an amazing artist and speaks 5 languages.
