Announcing Leadership Transition for Continued Growth
The Board of Directors of Billon Group is pleased to announce a leadership transition to ensure continued growth and success for our company.
🥁 Effective March 13, 2024, Wojciech Kostrzewa, our esteemed Chief Executive Officer (CEO), will assume the role of Chairman of the Board.
Wojtek has provided exceptional leadership throughout his five-year tenure as CEO. During his time at the helm, he navigated the Billon Group through a dramatic period marked by COVID19 pandemic, Russian aggression against Ukraine and a period of significant macroeconomic challenges. He supported Billon financially leading or participating in every financing round launched since January 2019. His deep understanding of our business, industry expertise, relationship with financial community and commitment to shareholder value makes Wojtek ideally suited to chair the Board and continue to provide strategic direction for the company.
🥁In conjunction with this transition, the Board is delighted to appoint Robert Kałuża, our Co-Founder, and current Chief Operating Officer (COO), as the new Chief Executive Officer.
Robert, being a co-founder, has been involved in the work and development of the company on a daily basis from the beginning and has a proven track record of success within Billon Group, having demonstrably led operational excellence and contributed significantly to our recent growth. His strong operational experience, strategic vision, and collaborative leadership style position him well to seamlessly assume the CEO role and propel Billon Group forward.
🚀 We are confident that this leadership transition will foster a smooth and effective handover of responsibilities. Wojtek and Robert have worked closely together for many years, and their combined expertise will ensure continued stability and strong performance for Billon Group.
The announced transition reflects implementation of #succession planning with the baton passed to the younger generation.
The Board extends its sincere gratitude to Wojtek Kostrzewa for his exceptional leadership as CEO and looks forward to his continued guidance as Chairman. We are also excited to welcome Robert Kaluza to the CEO role and have full faith in his ability to lead Billon Group to sustainable success.
