On 22 February 2017,  the Supervisory Board of Slovenian Sovereign Holding concluded the selection procedure for the appointment of the President and the Member of the Management Board of Slovenian Sovereign Holding.

 

On the basis of an in-depth assessment of candidates, considering their professional, strategic, operational and leadership competences, as well as organisational and personal competences, in addition to specific skills, the SSH Supervisory Board has appointed Mrs. Lidija Glavina as the most suitable candidat  to assume the office of the President of the Management Board; on the other hand, no candidate from among the candidates, who applied for the vacant job, has been appointed as the Member of the SSH Management Board. The new procedure for the selection of a Member of the SSH Management Board will be initiated by the SSH Supervisory Board after the said Supervisory Board is complemented by the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia, however, not later than at the April session of the SSH Supervisory Board.
