About Robert Golob
Robert Golob (born 23 January 1967) is a Slovenian businessman, engineer and politician, serving as Prime Minister of Slovenia from 2022 to 2026 and leader of the Freedom Movement since 2022. == Early life and education == Golob obtained his PhD in electrical engineering at the University of Ljubljana in 1994 and continued his studies as a post-doctoral Fulbright scholar in the United States, at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. == Business career == In 2004, Golob co-founded the energy trading company GEN-I, which is state-controlled, and where he remained chairman until 2021. == Political career == Between May 1999 and June 2000, Golob was the State Secretary at the Ministry of Economic Affairs in the government led by prime minister Janez Drnovšek of the LDS party. In 2002, he was elected to the City Council of Nova Gorica, a position he held until 2022. In 2011, Golob joined the Positive Slovenia party, founded by the mayor of Ljubljana Zoran Janković. In 2013–14, with the rising tensions within the party between its founder and chairman Zoran Janković and Prime Minister Alenka Bratušek, Golob played a mediating role between the two factions. In May 2014, after the final split between the two factions, he joined the breakaway Party of Alenka Bratušek (SAB), becoming one of its vice-presidents. After SAB's poor performance in the subsequent 2014 election, he moved away from national-level politics, remaining active only at the local level in his municipality of Nova Gorica. Among other engagements, he chaired the neighborhood assembly of Kromberk-Loke between 2010 and 2014, and remained member until 2022.
