JAKARTA - President Director of PT Pertamina (Persero), Nicke Widyawati, is ranked 17th out of the 100 most influential women in the world according to Fortune Magazine.

She was elected with several global CEOs, including GlaxoSmithKline CEO, Emma Walmsley, ranked first, Ping An Group CEO Jessica Tan ranked second, Banco Santander CEO, Ana Botin, ranked third, and Macquarie Group Ltd CEO, Shemara R Wikramanayake, ranked fourth.

Following Nicke, Unilever's President Global Foods & Refreshment, Hanneke Faber, ranked 23rd, Norsk Hydro CEO, Hilde Merete Aasheim, ranked 24th, P&G CEO, Alexandra Keith, ranked 37th, and OCBC NISP CEO Helen Wong ranked 41st.

Then how much wealth does Nicke have?

Based on the State Administrators Wealth Report (LHKPN) reported by Nicke to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) on March 27, her total wealth reached IDR 64,857,000,000. She did not record debt ownership in her report.

In her LHKPN, Nicke reported ownership of assets in the form of land and buildings worth IDR 32,845,000,000 spread over South Jakarta and Tasikmalaya.

In addition, he recorded vehicle ownership with a value of IDR 1,925,000,000. He has three four-wheeled vehicles, namely Toyota Alphard Standard 2018 with a value of IDR 850 million, Mercedes Benz GLE400 2017 with a value of IDR 775 million, and Honda HRV 2020 worth IDR 300 million.

Next, Nicke recorded ownership of other movable assets worth IDR 87 million, cash equivalents of IDR 30 billion.

Fortune magazine revealed that Nicke was included as an influential woman because of her achievements as the highest leader of an energy company in Indonesia who was able to overcome the triple shock challenge, namely the fall in oil prices, the decline in fuel demand, and the pressure on the exchange rate experienced by Pertamina during the 2020 pandemic.

These three factors did reduce Pertamina's revenue and profit. However, in the first half of 2021, under Nicke's leadership, Pertamina showed better conditions by achieving its oil and gas production targets.

In addition, Nicke is recognized for continuing to support Indonesia's energy transition by building a new renewable energy portfolio to provide clean energy for Indonesia in the future.
