He has been incharge of the company since his 20s, when his father Leopold entered into early retirement to pursue his dream of sailing around the world. HSI has seen a steadly growth under Philip and has had no major issues. The only exception to this of course was the Communist Ban on private industry. Political insiders gave Philip a heads up about the on coming ban and he was able to relocate the company, and her assets to Ostgrad, Mordusia. With the recent return to capitalism in Gishoto parts of the company have begun to return however the major of the company's assets remain in foreign accounts.

Political Career
Philip began his politically career shortly after it was announced that he was a possibly next inline for the Hulstrian Throne. He revived the dead Imperial Hulstrian Party, and through sheer support for the monarchy was able to gain the Comrade Premiership and just under 2/3 of the legislature for the IHP. However after several years of Royalist domination the Communists grew tired of the IHP's control of the legislature. They began inciting riots against royalists and the Lutheran Church, which led to the IHP caving in on itself. However Philip was not done, 24 years later, when all hope that the monarchy might be resotre had faded, the IHP rose from the ashes and rentered the political arena. Taking a majority of the legislature and the Comrade Premiership the Party had arrived and once again Philip was Comrade Premier. However he had grown tired in his old age, and at the end of his term as Comrade Premier he retired as head of the IHP and from politics in general leaving Konsort and Konrad to succeed him.
