Harvey Goldstein serves as the president and director of Harvest International, an Indonesia-based provider of venture capital and consultation services for local and foreign entrepreneurs. An entrepreneur with a history in Indonesia, Singapore, and other areas across Southeast Asia, Harvey Goldstein formerly studied electrical engineering at the New York University Tandon School of Electrical Engineering. His work earned him recognition from NYU’s Polytechnic Alumni Association (PAA) through a 1993 Outstanding Electrical Engineering Alumnus Award. 

The PAA distributes two awards to honor alumni who make a difference in their communities and made contributions to the university, the alumni association, or the fields of science and technology. Recipients are selected by the PA Awards Committee from a pool of highly-confidential nominees. The organization accepts nominations through December 31 of each year. The International Board of Directors makes the final decision on award recipients. Nominations must include a biography of the nominee and information on qualifications, leadership contributions, and reasons for nomination. 

Awards distributed by PAA include the Distinguished Alumnus/a Award and the Dedicated Alumnus/a Award. The Distinguished Alumnus/a Award honors alumni who made notable scientific contributions through entrepreneurship and innovation or accomplished outstanding leadership in the fields of technology or engineering. Eligible nominees include graduates of the School of Engineering, Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, or Polytechnic Institute of New York. The Dedicated Alumnus/a Award recognizes individuals who went beyond the call of duty to make positive impacts or contributions to the PAA or the School of Engineering.

Harvey Goldstein, an American businessman residing in Singapore, has spearheaded foreign direct investment projects that have enabled growth in Indonesia and Southeast Asia’s emerging markets for more than four decades. Possessing a keen interest in education, Harvey Goldstein and his wife started a scholarship program to provide exemplary Singaporean students from low-income backgrounds with full scholarships to attend the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (CTY).

The CTY program has its roots in the 1970s, with psychologist Julian Stanley’s groundbreaking work at JHU focused on academically advanced middle school students. Operating as a nonprofit, the center holds an annual Talent Search and brings together creative young minds from diverse backgrounds in shared learning endeavors. At the same time, students’ performance is evaluated and measured within an academic research setting. 

The executive director of CTY, Elaine Hansen, recently wrote for the Baltimore Sun about education’s shifting priorities as grit, or the ability to persevere in the long term, becomes increasingly recognized as an attribute of success. According to this metric, sustained effort is a major contributor to overall success. While grit is often inversely correlated with innate talent, Ms. Hansen notes that engaging the grit part of students’ psyche requires asking them to actively think about why they are engaging in activities and what they have achieved thus far.

American businessman Harvey Goldstein leads both PT Harvest International Indonesia and Business-Link Consultancy in Singapore. Alongside his commitment to international finance in Indonesia, Harvey Goldstein invests in educational opportunities locally. He and his wife recently established a scholarship fund for local Singaporean students from disadvantaged backgrounds who are admitted to the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (CTY). 

Each year, the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth offers summer and online programs for exceptional students. Participating K-12 students are admitted based on their standardized test scores. The scholarship provides travel to the United States, tuition, and room and board for Singapore-based students.

The Center for Talented Youth has produced a wealth of notable alumni throughout the years, and many of its former participants have contributed to the fields of robotics, math, and science. Eleven year old Emma Yang recently used the skills she learned at CTY to create an app for people who live with Alzheimer's. Inspired by her own grandmother's experience, she developed a facial recognition tool, allowing patients to scan and quickly identify the people around them. Emma hopes to have her app “Timeless” available for download soon.

Entrepreneur Harvey Goldstein holds leadership positions with Harvest International Indonesia and Business Link Consultancy in Singapore. Over the course of his career, Harvey Goldstein has provided consultancy services to many American companies seeking to do business in Indonesia.

Goldstein’s client list includes Ford Motor Company, which reentered the country as Ford Motor Indonesia (FMI) around 2000. Since that time, FMI has developed a robust dealership business in the country and earned the top Indonesia ranking on J.D. Power Asia Pacific 2008 Sales Satisfaction Index survey. In February 2015, FMI kicked off its eighth Driving Skills for Life (DSFL) program.

Established in 2008 to address high traffic accident rates in Indonesia, the DSFL program offers no-cost drivers’ education courses and public training regarding safe and fuel-efficient driving. DSFL sessions employ hands-on and theoretical teaching methods and include such lessons as anticipating road conditions, avoiding speeding, using safety belts, and maintaining safe driving distances.

Previous participants in the program include business employees, special interest groups, car clubs, members of the media, and even FMI employees. Nearly 95,000 licensed drivers have participated since its Jakarta launch on August 25, 2008.

The 2015 DSFL program kicked off on February 11 with a campaign to extend the reach of driver safety events into areas surrounding Sabang and Merauke. In addition, FMI encouraged the Indonesian public to take part in its I Pledge to Drive Safe campaign by committing to execute safe and defensive driving techniques.

Ford’s DSFL program operates with assistance of the Asia Injury Prevention Foundation and the Indonesian Defensive Driving Center. It also receives support from the Ministry of Transportation and the Indonesian National Police.
