Unicredit headhunting Bank BPH managers

Part of BHP is to go to Pekao while the remaining part (the so-called mini-BPH) to be sold to an unknown investor. The list of managers who will stay at BPH will be known by the end of March and according to a Puls Biznesu source, "a significant part of the managers prefer to stay in mini-BPH. They see more chances here, especially if Józef Wancer will continue to be the CEO of the bank." The Italians are currently in talks with BPH chief economist Ryszard Petru and its director of Treasury products department Grzegorz Białobrzeski. Petru is said to have been offered the position of the chief economist with CA IB, the investment part of the Pekao group, while Białobrzeski received a proposal to work for Pekao bank. Both refuse to comment on the issue. (Puls Biznesu, p 1, 11) E.B.
