Oleksii Poroshenko

Ukrainian entrepreneur and politician (1936-2020)

In the history of enterprise, Oleksii Poroshenko is one of the names that keeps returning.

The record lists Oleksii Poroshenko as Ukrainian entrepreneur and politician (1936-2020).

Oleksii Poroshenko was born at Safiany in 1936. His recorded nationality is Kingdom of Romania. He was educated at Lviv National Environmental University.

Post-war business was mass-market and increasingly multinational, managed by professionals rather than owners.

He worked as politician, entrepreneur and engineer.

Business reputations are unusually sensitive to the decade in which they were made.

Recognition followed: Order of the Badge of Honour, Medal "For Labour Valour", Hero of Ukraine, Order of the State and Jubilee Medal "In Commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of the Birth of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin".

That the business was built from Kingdom of Romania shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.

Oleksii Poroshenko died in 2020, aged 84. What remains is the enterprise and its consequences, which is the only durable measure of a commercial life.
