Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno (born 28 June 1969) is an Indonesian businessman, investor and politician who served as Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy from 2020 to 2024.

A graduate of George Washington University, Sandiaga worked for several companies and rose in rank before founding his own business, which led him to become one of the richest people in Indonesia.

Listed as 29th richest man in Indonesia according to Forbes magazine in 2009,[5] he continued to grow his businesses, buying a controlling (51%) stake in Mandala Airlines[6] in May 2011.

The rumour of his candidacy intensified, as news leaked of the desire of 7 political parties to form a grand coalition in August 2016.

[12] This desire was not realised following the withdrawal the ruling PDI-P party, which threw its weight behind incumbent governor Ahok, along with Golkar, Hanura and Nasdem.

[14] Following victory in the election, which an editorial described as "the most polarizing and most divisive the nation has ever seen in Indonesian political history,"[15] and the incarceration of Ahok, he was made deputy governor on 16 October 2017.

[1] After Prabowo's defeat in the 2019 election, Sandiaga did not hold any office until he was appointed as Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy on 22 December 2020.

[22] There were multiple reports in Indonesia that Sandiaga Uno was appointed as a "distinguished research professor in residence" at George Washington University.

Regarding this, the Indonesian Minister of Finance, Sri Mulyani, vowed to study the legitimacy of the paper, and will take an appropriate measure if there was any wrongdoing conducted.
