In late October, the Indonesian entrepreneur Nadiem Makarim left the helm of his company, Gojek—whose popular app offers services ranging from making online payments to ordering food—to take a position in President Joko Widodo’s Cabinet. He is now Minister of Education and Culture, putting him in a position to shape the future leaders of the world’s 16th largest economy. Says Brian Harding, a deputy director at the Center for Strategic and International Studies: “Makarim will bring youthful, entrepreneurial savvy into the Cabinet.” —Amy Gunia
