Warsaw (Puls Biznesu) – Since Wednesday, not a single member of PZU management board recommended by Eureko supervises the company.
The Tuesday meeting of the board of PZU, Poland’s biggest insurance company, was very stormy and ended on Wednesday. At the previous meeting, Jaromir Netzel, PZU CEO, deprived Joyce Deriga of the supervision of operation and technology unit. He explained that she had failed to tell the management that she had a 2-week vacation and it was impossible to contact her. According to Mr. Netzel, it is not possible while caring such an important responsibilities. That’s why Joyce Deriga who joined the board in July and was recommended by Eureko, was left without any tasks.
According to “PB” sources, Mr. Netzel offered the other Eureko representative, Piotr Kowalczewski, to take over the technology unit. He did not accept the offer. PZU CEO proposed to divide the competences of all members of the management anew. The voting was secret, three members (without doubt those representing the Ministry of the Treasure, i.e. Jaroslaw Netzel, Miroslaw Panek and Jolanta Strzelecka) approved of the application, two (Joyce Deriga and Piotr Kowalczewski) were against.
Jolanta Strzelecka is said to take over the control over the mass client unit (bancassurance, sales, product management and insurance for SME). She has supervised the damage liquidation and the corporate client units before. Miroslaw Panek who has supervised the financial unit will control IT issues.
