Indonesian payment technology company Doku has appointed co-founder and former Chief Marketing Officer Himelda Renuat as its new CEO, effective immediately. The appointment comes as the company strengthens its partnership with Ant International’s Antom and adopts a new brand name, Doku by Antom.
Renuat co-founded Doku in 2007 with Chief Operating Officer Nabilah Alsagoff. The platform was established to provide payment services and risk management solutions for merchants. It supports transactions in multiple foreign currencies and has since grown to serve more than one million Indonesian customers and over 22,000 merchants across the country.
In February, Doku signed an agreement with Antom and Ant International to help Indonesian merchants expand their global payment capabilities. The partnership covers international payment processing, access to global consumers, multi-currency solutions and operational services, including treasury and working capital support.
The collaboration has now entered a new phase, with Doku rebranding as Doku by Antom to reflect its closer relationship with Ant International and its regional payment processing subsidiary, 2C2P.
Under the partnership, Doku will connect its local payment methods, merchant network and regulatory presence in Indonesia with Antom’s global merchant payment platform and Ant International’s wider range of services. These include Alipay+’s unified digital wallet gateway.
Despite the rebranding, Doku will continue operating under its own name and existing licences while expanding its products and strengthening its collaboration with 2C2P.
Renuat’s appointment follows the departure of former CEO Chris Yeo, who led Doku from 2022. Yeo has moved to lead Antom’s business in the Philippines.
In addition to becoming Doku’s CEO, Renuat has also been appointed head of Antom Indonesia. She will oversee the company’s next stage of growth and lead Antom’s business in the Indonesian market, combining her local market experience with Antom’s regional and global capabilities.
Moving forward, Doku by Antom plans to expand its services for existing merchants while reaching new industries and exploring additional payment opportunities.
