Leadership Overhaul at LEN Industri: A New Chapter for Indonesia’s Defense Industry
In a pivotal development for Indonesia’s defense sector, the leadership of PT Len Industri (Persero), better known as LEN Industri, has undergone a comprehensive reshuffle under the direction of Erick Thohir, the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises. This strategic reorganization, which took place on February 21, 2025, introduces a fresh team of leaders poised to propel the company toward accelerated growth and innovation in a competitive global landscape.
A New Guard Takes Command
Marking the beginning of this new era, Joga Dharma Setiawan steps into the role of President Director, replacing Bobby Rasyidin. Additionally, Tri Budi Utomo has been appointed as the President Commissioner, succeeding Muhammad Herindra. This leadership reshuffle was formalized through ministerial decrees (SK-38/MBU/02/02/2025 and SK-39/MBU/02/2025), underscoring the government’s commitment to fortify the nation’s key industries with capable leaders.
Unlocking Strategic Potential
The reshuffle is more than a change of personnel; it heralds a strategic recalibration aimed at harnessing LEN Industri’s core strengths. As highlighted by Assistant Deputy of Manufacturing Industry Chairiah, the new leadership is tasked with optimizing the absorption of PMN funds, executing the defense industry’s priority programs, and bolstering company financial performance. This strategy is poised to position LEN Industri not only as a driving force in Indonesia but also as a contender on the global stage.
Composition of the New Leadership
The newly constituted leadership team as of February 21, 2025, includes:
- Tri Budi Utomo – President Commissioner
- Bobby Rasyidin – Commissioner
- Arkamelvi Karmani – Independent Commissioner
- Joga Dharma Setiawan – President Director
- Irwan Ibrahim – Director of Business and Cooperation
- Yessy Kurnia Dyah W – Director of Finance, Portfolio Management, and HR
- Iqbal Fikri – Director of Operations
This lineup takes the place of previous leaders, including Muhammad Herindra and Dean Arslan, and aims to leverage innovative practices and strategic insights to steer LEN Industri toward unprecedented achievements.
Navigating Challenges and Seizing Opportunities
The new leadership arrives at a critical junction characterized by both regional geopolitical tensions and the global demand for advanced defense technology. The team’s mandate includes enhancing LEN Industri’s global competitiveness, much like recent strategic initiatives observed in international defense sectors—for instance, the U.S. defense industry’s response to evolving security challenges, spurred by leadership emphasizing technology and partnership.
A Vision for the Future
LEN Industri’s future looks promising with a robust roadmap focusing on innovation and financial sustainability. The new leadership is expected to drive rapid advancements by aligning the company’s strategic objectives with global industry trends. As the defense landscape continues to evolve, LEN Industri’s capacity to innovate and adapt will be pivotal to its success and its standing in the international arena.
The reshuffling at LEN Industri is not merely a change in leadership but a decisive move towards strengthening Indonesia’s defense industry.
