The Supervisory Board of Orlen made the decision after the CEO "put himself at the disposal of the Board". His last day in office will be the day before the company's general meeting, at which changes to the Supervisory Board are planned. This is related to the change of government – Orlen is a key company of the State Treasury.

Obajtek's term as CEO began six years earlier, on February 6, 2018. While the company's CEOs have usually been nominated by the government, the last six years have been characterized by exceptional politicization. Daniel Obajtek's political position was so high that at one point there were rumors about his candidacy for the position of prime minister.

What kind of Orlen is the outgoing CEO leaving behind? Certainly much larger than six years ago and - as he likes to repeat – multi-energy. In recent years, there has been a merger with the Lotos Group and the takeover of Energa and Polish Oil and Gas Mining.

At his farewell press conference, Obajtek himself praised the decision to expand the company. However, there are many doubts about his actions, especially around the merger with the Lotos Group. The District Prosecutor's Office in Płock has launched an investigation into this matter. The Supreme Audit Office is also due to present a report on the merger process next week. We will likely learn new details about Daniel Obajtek's presidency in the coming months.
