YOGYAKARTA Profile Rosan Roeslani became increasingly a topic of conversation after he was appointed as Deputy President Commissioner of PT Pertamina (Persero). The Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir himself pointed out. Apart from that, who is Rosan Roeslani?

Rosan Perkasa Roeslani is an entrepreneur who was born on December 31, 1968 in Jakarta. He is better known as an entrepreneur for pioneering a financial advisory company (financial advisors), namely PT Republik Indonesia Funding alias Finance Indonesia with Sandiaga Uno.

Rosan's business is apparently related to the education he took. He previously studied undergraduate in finance at Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, Oklahoma (1988-1992). After that he managed to get an MBA from European University, Badminton, Belgium (1993-1994).

Not only being an entrepreneur in the financial sector, Rosan Roeslani is also active in the organization, one of which is the Indonesian Young Entrepreneurs Association (Hipmi). Apart from being active in Hipmi, Rosan also served as Chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry/KADIN for the 2015-2021 period. During his time as Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, he received an award from the Belgian Government because he was considered to have contributed to advancing trade relations and industry between Belgium and Indonesia.

The government also often involves Rosan in several work programs. For example, he was once trusted to be the National Economic Response and Recovery Committee/KPC-PEN (2020-2021). In addition, he is also trusted as Chairman of the Indonesian Olympic Contingent Mission for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (2021), as well as Chairman of the Indonesian Omnibus Law Job Creation Task Force (2019-2021).

In the era of the Jokowi government, Rosan Roeslani was given the mandate to become Indonesia's ambassador to the United States. At that time, his appointment as Indonesia's Duber for Indonesia was carried out in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. The inauguration of the 21st Indonesian Ambassador to the US itself was carried out on October 25, 2021.

On July 17, 2023, Rosan Perkasa was appointed by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) to become Deputy Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (Wamen BUMN). He replaced the previous Deputy Minister of BUMN, Pahala Mansury, who was appointed Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs (Wamenlu). Not long after, the Minister of SOEs appointed Rosan to be Deputy President Commissioner of PT Pertamina (Persero).

The reason for appointing Rosan Perkasa Roeslani as one of Pertamina's top officials was not without reason. According to SOE Minister Erick Thohir, Rosan is a responsible person.

"With Mr. Rosan, he is responsible financially and otherwise, but there is nothing wrong with me being double-decker," Erick explained to reporters, Tuesday, August 1.

He also emphasized that the appointment of the Deputy Minister of BUMN as a high-ranking state company officer was not a problem. Instead, he said that the decision was made because it was part of the supervision scheme of state-owned companies.
