Tomasson "Tomas" Micalcesem Serdoa is a Seketese businessman and former politician who served as the Prime Minister of Seketan from 2005 to 2014 and leader of the National Conservative Party from 2002 to 2014. Before politics, Serdoa was the head of the restaurant supplier Meiltak Group, one of Seketan's largest companies as well as a board member of the Bank of Conelibek, Georida Housing, and Yetuka Group. He also was a major investor in IntSek, a major developer of internet infrastructure in Seketan.
Serdoa was elected Prime Minister after the 2005 Seketese election, but after being unable to form a coalition, called for a snap election. Victory in the subsequent 2006 Seketese election would mark the first time the National Conservative won a majority government and would lead to him being the longest serving non-Socialist Prime Minister since the 1978 Seketese Revolution. He is to date the richest individual to be elected to the office.
Early Life
Tomas Serdoa was born in the village of Mituk, within the municipality of Aalitonja in Nelderjen on 1 January 1950 to Mikal and Laurina Serdoa. His parents owned a small restaurant in Aalitonja where Serdoa worked as a child. He would state in an interview in 2005 that this would spark his interest in business, as his father would often ask for help on the restaurant's finances When Serdoa reached 18 in 1968, he joined the Kjedorates, Seketans then the authoritarian ruling party. Serdoa would later state that his membership was purely for business connections, seeing it at the time as akin to a local club with many prominent members of Seketese society. The same year Serdoa attended the University of Winneston where he would get his BA and MBA.
Business Career
After graduating from Winneston, Serdoa started a small consultation firm in Aalitonja while still working for his family's restaurant. This consulting firm proved to be successful in Nelderjen's burgeoning small business community, with Serdoa later claiming in 2008 that he "built that little region up". In early 1979, Serdoa's firm was hired by Yeosef Meiltak, starting Serdoa's career with his company Meiltak Supplies. While initially just a consultant, he would help grow the company from just a paper cup supplier to all restaurant supplies and in 1983 he would be hired as Meiltak's COO
