---

JAKARTA, Investortrust.id — PT GoTo Gojek Tokopedia Tbk or GOTO announces a major leadership shift on Monday, Nov 24, 2025 in Jakarta as CEO Patrick Walujo resigns and the company nominates longtime executive Hans Patuwo to lead the group while merger discussions with Grab intensify, a move expected to shape the next phase of GoTo’s profitability push. The company says the transition aims to secure operational stability and sharpen execution ahead of a decisive extraordinary shareholder meeting on Wednesday, Dec 17, 2025.

GoTo stated that Patrick Walujo submitted his resignation on Monday, Nov 24, 2025, and said the succession plan had been prepared to support GoTo’s shift toward stronger fundamentals and sustainable profit targets.

GoTo added that the succession process followed a long term roadmap to strengthen leadership depth at a time when the company faced heightened competition and a rapidly evolving digital economy.

Commissioner Agus Martowardojo praised Patrick’s tenure and said, “I want to thank Patrick for his exceptional leadership over the past two and a half years. We have witnessed a significant period of transformation under his direction. Since his appointment in June 2023, Patrick has guided GoTo through a transformation that strengthened the company’s financial fundamentals, sharpened operational focus, and restored clarity to its long term direction.”

Agus added that Hans Patuwo was the right figure to lead the company’s next chapter and said, “His long experience within the ecosystem, as well as his commitment to the welfare of driver partners and business partners, makes him the ideal candidate to move GoTo forward.”

Hans Patuwo spent nearly eight years inside the ecosystem and built his career across Gojek, GoPay, and GoTo Financial. He joined in 2018 as Chief Operating Officer and helped stabilise driver operations and transport services, which were core pillars of the Gojek business.

He also played a central role in expanding GoTo Financial and later became its President, before assuming the roles of Chief Operating Officer and President of On Demand Services to drive data disciplined growth, efficiency, and profitability across the group.

Before joining Gojek, Hans built a global career with experience in the United States, China, and Singapore, including serving as a Partner at McKinsey.

Two board members also resigned as part of the reshuffle. Ade Mulyana stepped down as director, while Pablo Malay and Winato Kartono resigned from the board of commissioners citing personal and family reasons.

GoTo said it would nominate Andre Soelistyo and Santoso Kartono as new commissioners to strengthen board oversight with their experience in technology and investment.

The company noted it would comply with regulations governing shareholder meetings under POJK 33/2014 and POJK 15/2020, and confirmed that the extraordinary shareholder meeting to formalise the leadership changes would take place on Wednesday, Dec 17, 2025.

GoTo said the leadership transition formed part of its broader transformation to reinforce its organisational structure as it enters a new phase of growth, profitability, and possible strategic consolidation in the regional technology sector.
