Banking or drugs? Szukalski must choose between helms of BP and PHF

When Andrzej Szukalski, the president of Bank Pocztowy (BP), became president of Polish Pharmaceutical Holding (PHF) in April, it was believed that by the end of his term at BP he would leave the bank. However, just prior to the start of BP's general shareholders’ meeting yesterday, speculation was rife that Szukalski would be staying put, meaning that PHF would have to find a new president, as he would not be able to preside over both companies any longer. The ball, though, is now in Szukalski's court, as he must decide whether to stay on in banking or take up the challenge of heading PHF, which is likely to be registered this week.
