Orlen with new CEO

WSE-listed fuel giant PKN Orlen dismissed its CEO Wojciech Jasiński and two management board members. Jasińki will be replaced by WSE-listed power utility Energa’s CEO Daniej Obajtek who stepped down from his post. Also losing their jobs were Vice President Mirosław Kochalski and board member Maria Sosnowska. Jozef Wegrecki was appointed to the supervisory board in their place. The current Energa’s vice president has been delegated by the Ministry of Energy as an interim director of investments and procurement. He will stay in this post for a maximum three months, the company said in a market filing. According to Dziennik Gazeta Prawna daily, the move was orchestrated by the Energy Minister Krzysztof Tchórzewski who did not approve the recent takeover of Unipetrol by Orlen.
