Iwan Sunito grew up in Pangkalan Bun, Central Kalimantan. After completing his junior high school, he continued his education in Surabaya, until at the age of 18 he went to school in Sydney, Australia.

This was challenging for him because during his schooling in Indonesia, he was a student who did not have outstanding achievements and could even be said to be a wayward child. Iwan then studied architectural design at the University of New South Wales. He graduated with honors and continued his master's degree.

He started his career as an architectural employee at Cox Richardson, an architectural firm in Australia. Then he thought of running his own business instead of working as an employee. So in 1996, together with his friend Paul Sathio, Crown Group was founded. Crown Group succeeded with a series of successful projects until now Iwan has expanded from Australia to America.
