Nicke Widyawati

As CEO and president director of Pertamina, Indonesia’s state-owned energy company, Widyawati oversees an enterprise with more than $54.6 billion in annual revenue and some 32,000 employees around the globe. An engineer by training, Widyawati was made Pertamina’s chief in 2018 after her predecessor was dismissed in the midst of restructuring efforts. The government recently reaffirmed its confidence in her to carry out the company’s transformation to a holding company with publicly listed subsidiaries over the next two years. COVID-19 has presented challenges; in April, Pertamina reduced its targets for oil production owing to lower demand and is cutting costs and capital spending.
