TP to gradually defenestrate foreign managers

To carry out its ambitious plans the operator will change its structure and replace key managers, with the latter likely to take place by the end of the month. TP's new three-year strategy should be ready by summer and it is already known that integration of mobile branch Centertel and fixed-line operator TP will form its core. Sales, marketing and finances will be handled at the top level of TP, while the IT systems of both companies will be merged.Centertel's management board will comprise one person, Grazyna Piotrowska-Oliwa, who is currently an executive director for strategy, development and wholesales at TP. "Polish managers must get a chance. The new CEO has the relevant experience to develop the mobile business. I want to gradually replace foreign managers," said Witucki. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1,10) M.M.
