International Experts in Danantara
Several foreign professionals are part of Danantara’s structure, selected for their expertise. Among them is Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund managing $124 billion in assets and serving as a macroeconomic advisor to multiple countries.
Other notable figures include economist and global academic Jeffrey Sachs, Equity Portfolio Manager at Capital Group F. Chapman Taylor, and former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
Danantara’s Chief Investment Officer (CIO), Pandu Sjahrir, explained the rationale behind selecting international advisors. He emphasized the importance of understanding global economic and geopolitical risks when making investment decisions.
“Macroeconomic factors are a significant concern for us. That’s why we have advisors like Ray Dalio and Jeffrey Sachs. We recognize that macro risks and geopolitical risks are increasing,” said Pandu during a press conference at Graha CIMB Niaga, South Jakarta, on Monday (March 24, 2025), as reported by detik.com.
He assured that all members of Danantara are professionals and not politically appointed.
“There have been concerns about the formation of Danantara and its management team. Hopefully, today’s announcement clarifies that everyone involved is a top professional in their respective fields, with global expertise. As Pak Rosan said, there are no political appointees—only the best,” stated Pandu.
No Political Appointees
With the leadership team now confirmed, Rosan expressed optimism that Danantara will gain greater trust from market players and the public.
“This structure provides assurance that we have selected individuals with strong reputations,” he stated.
He reiterated that there were no political appointees in the leadership team, and every individual was selected based on their extensive experience in finance and investment at both national and global levels.
“None of these names are political appointees, including from President Prabowo Subianto. The President did not reject any of the candidates we proposed. These names were carefully selected, comprising professionals with strong market experience and excellent track records,” Rosan explained.
He further revealed that assembling Danantara’s leadership took about a month after its launch on February 24, 2025. Rosan also noted that the management structure could evolve over time.
“This list may expand, both at the advisory and operational levels. There are still some names under consideration, but they are currently employed elsewhere and need more time before joining us. We will provide updates on new additions to Danantara as they become available,” Rosan concluded.
Rosan emphasized that, following President Prabowo Subianto’s directives, Danantara must be managed with transparency, accountability, and integrity.
