Sri Mulyani Joins Oxford to Mentor Future World Leaders
Jakarta. Former Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati has revealed her next chapter: she is now teaching at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom while joining the 2026 World Leaders Fellowship at the Blavatnik School of Government.
The fellowship is designed for global leaders transitioning from top public roles, providing a platform to share insights, mentor future policymakers, and engage in high-level discussions on governance and innovation.
During her one-year fellowship, Sri Mulyani will mentor students and alumni, participate in global leadership forums, and explore new approaches to public-sector management.
“It is an honor for me to join the World Leaders Fellowship at the University of Oxford. I hope to contribute wisely, share experiences while continuing to learn, and support the next generation of policymakers,” she said in a statement published on Oxford’s Blavatnik School website on Tuesday.
Founding Dean Ngaire Woods welcomed her appointment, saying students from more than 60 countries would benefit from Sri Mulyani’s deep experience in global economic policymaking.
Sri Mulyani is the first Indonesian finance minister to serve under three consecutive presidents. She was named the world’s best minister in 2018. Before returning to government, she served as Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer of the World Bank, overseeing global operations and supporting developing countries in tackling development challenges.
Her fellowship marks a new milestone in her long career in public policy and global leadership.
