The idea for Counsely was born in 2021 when we, the founders, recognized a significant disconnect between freelancers and their clients. It wasn’t a shortage of talent that posed the problem; rather, it was the pervasive distrust stemming from past experiences of misconduct.
​
This disconnect often resulted in frustration and disappointment for both parties—clients struggled to find dependable freelancers, while freelancers felt undervalued and isolated. We knew a solution was needed—an innovative platform that could bridge this gap by promoting transparency, accountability, and mutual respect. That's how we came to form Counsely to be as you know it.
Gaby Rusli
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
HI! I am a UX/UI Designer with an International Relations major. My interest lies in using traditional business practices, political insight, and modern tools to craft lasting solutions for global challenges. This drive has led me to diverse ventures—from contributing as an Editor and Book Reviewer to training Large Language Models (LLM) and Generative AI part-time.
I founded Counsely with a clear mission: to challenge the skepticism and disconnect that hinder Indonesia’s progress and to reshape the world’s perception of Indonesian and Southeast Asian talent. And I am determined to pursue this mission with unwavering intensity.

We are a band of walking contradictions unafraid to back down from making our mark in this world. These are some of the things we find non-negotiable in our team players.
Resourceful
It is understanding that to succeed in your job and your life, you need to make the best out of what you have, what you have access to, and the limitations that exist.
Accountable
It is committing to one's role, meeting one's obligations, and contributing as best one can. This prevents the cultivation of a toxic and unfair work environment.
Efficient
It is ensuring that work flows smoothly, deadlines are met, and everyone can focus on what matters without unnecessary delays. This helps foster a proactive and productive work environment.
Consistent
It is understanding that lasting success comes from steady effort and dedication, knowing that great results aren’t achieved overnight but through persistence and reliability over time.
Proper
It is accepting that there are certain practices and conduct that are necessary in a professional and interpersonal setting.
Collaborative
It is recognizing that a successful team is built on a blend of strengths and weaknesses, which means that no successful task can be achieved completely by oneself.
