Tihomir 'Tim' Orešković (Serbo-Croatian pronunciation: [ˌtîhomiːr tîm ˈǒreʃkoʋit͡ɕ]) (born 1 January 1966[1]) is a Croatian-Canadian entrepreneur who serves as the Prime Minister of Croatia since 22 January 2016. Before taking office as Prime Minister, Orešković served as CEO and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Pliva, head of financial management for Teva Pharmaceutical Industries in Europe, and a Chief Financial Officer for Teva global generics business. He is the first non-partisan Croatian Prime Minister and the first to have lived most of his life abroad.
In the aftermath of an inconclusive parliamentary election held on 8 November 2015 and the ensuing 76 days of negotiations, Orešković was named as a compromise, non-partisan candidate of the Patriotic Coalition and the Bridge of Independent Lists on 23 December 2015. He was formally named Prime Minister-designate on the same day by President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović. Orešković formed the 13th Croatian Government made up of 2 deputy prime ministers and 20 ministers on 22 January 2016. His cabinet was approved by 83 out of 151 members of the Croatian Parliament.
Early life and education
Orešković was born in Zagreb in 1966 to Đurđa and Dane Orešković. While he was still an infant, he moved with his parents to Hamilton, Canada.[2] In 1989, he graduated with a degree in chemistry from McMaster University in Canada. In 1991, he graduated with a MBA in finance and information systems from the same university.
Professional career
His professional career began in 1992 in the production of American pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly where he held various functions in the field of finance and international business. His last position in the company was the position of Director for relations with the state administration and economic affairs.[3]
After leaving Eli Lilly in August 2005, he continued his career in the Canadian pharmaceutical company Novopharm (now: Teva Canada), as VP of Business Development, Specialty Products and CFO. Orešković started working for Pliva in 2009 as chief financial officer for Eastern Europe, and in 2010 was appointed to the position of Chief Financial Officer for Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean, Israel and Africa. Orešković holds dual Croatian and Canadian citizenship.[4][failed verification]
Political career
Following the 2015 parliamentary elections, on 23 December 2015 it was announced that HDZ and Most will name him as the Prime Minister-Designate.[5] He named his cabinet on 21 January 2016 and the Orešković Cabinet was approved through a vote of confidence from Parliament on 22 January.[6]
