Danantara Indonesia Names New Management Team

Danantara Indonesia CEO Rosan Roeslani unveiled the company's new management team, marking a significant step in its institutional strengthening. Cipung Noer will lead the Board of Commissioners, joined by experienced figures like Tony Wenas and Mari Elka Pangestu. Luke Mahony takes the helm as President Director of the Board of Directors, supported by a team with expertise in finance, risk management, and legal compliance.

Roeslani highlighted the collective experience of the new leadership, emphasizing their decades of experience in industrial development, global mining operations, international economic policy, investment, and financial markets. He stated that the new directors combine global natural resource sector experience with deep expertise in finance, risk management, law, and compliance.

"For the first time, DSI also introduced its brand identity to the public as one of the important milestones in strengthening its institution," Roeslani said during the launch event. He added that DSI, established as a state-owned export entity, plays a crucial role in supporting a more integrated, accountable, and traceable export ecosystem. The company's mandate is to ensure Indonesia gains greater value from its strategic natural resources.

Since commencing operations on June 1, 2026, DSI has focused on commodities such as coal, palm oil, and ferroalloy, facilitating exports and maintaining business certainty. Roeslani stressed DSI's role in enhancing visibility within Indonesia's strategic commodity ecosystem and improving the understanding of export transactions and market dynamics to maximize national economic benefits. He asserted that Indonesia requires stronger governance, better visibility, and a more accountable system to ensure the value generated from these commodities is properly recorded and optimized for national interests.
