Karlowski tipped to succeed Madalski as Netia CEO

The acting president, and one of the most probable candidates for the seat, Pawel Karlowski, said that the company is in the process of preparing a five year strategy which will be presented to the supervisory board in the first half of October. Puls Biznesu has leant that the new strategy will, to a significant degree, focus on the needs of individual customers, while until now it put most of its efforts in the business sector. "Our engagement in P4 automatically redefines our interest in the mass market," said Karlowski.Netia is to fight for customers more aggressively. It is also one of four companies which have signed an agreement with TP concerning the granting of bitstream internet access. The challenge is a difficult one for the management especially taking into consideration the poor H1 results, when the operator generated a net loss of zl.23.3 million. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1,11) A.K.
