PROFESIONAL BIOGRAPHY (CHRONOLOGY)
1971-1979
I started my professional career in foreign trade company Metalka, in 1971, after finishing Law Faculty of the University of Ljubljana, as legal adviser. I left Metalka in 1979 as director of general affairs and moved to Chamber of Economy of Slovenia, first as the secretary of the Regional chamber of Ljubljana and in 1986 elected secretary general and later vice president of the Slovene Chamber of Economy.
1979 -1988
At the Chamber of Economy in mid-eighties, I was amongst other duties assigned as the coordinator of a national research project, titled: How to implement market economy (1987, 1988)? This project was of great importance later for governmental economic and property rights reforms in Slovenia and former Yugoslav federation. Complete project was published in three books by Slovene Chamber of Economy in 1989 and served as one of the basis for further political and economic reforms in the country.
In 1985, I made master degree, in 1987 PH degree in law at the University of Ljubljana, after several study and research trips to some USA universities (NY State, Cornell).
1988-1992
In 1988 I was elected Minister of economy (Secretary of State) of the Federal Government of a former Yugoslavia. As Minister of economy, I was involved in market and ownership reforms of the former federation, aiming to abandon so called contractual economy and self-management exclusivism in economy, aiming to introduce market economy and private property. In this context I, proposed draft law on companies (1988), which for the first time after 5 decades introduced joint stock legal forms for enterprises, that were at that time still socially (state) owned.
In 1991 I established Slovene institute of management, where I have been serving as the President of the institute, since its establishment up until today. As President of the Slovene Research Institute of management, I coordinated and performed research and consultancy work in the above described fields. Initially since 1991, the institute has been predominantly dealing with privatization and legal restructuring of Slovene economy from the early nineties till nowadays. The institute carried on several of EU and other projects mostly in the field of privatization and liberalization of public services, corporate restructuring and governance, take overs, mergers and acquisitions, etc.
