  • Katarzyna Ostap-Tomann resigned as Chief Financial Officer of Cyfrowy Polsat after a decade with the company.
  • Anna Miller-Pytlak, previously deputy CFO, has been appointed as her successor.
  • The change occurs as the company prepares its new strategy, with Ostap-Tomann remaining as an advisor until September to ensure a smooth transition.

Cyfrowy Polsat announced a significant change in its management board, with Chief Financial Officer Katarzyna Ostap-Tomann resigning after ten years. Ostap-Tomann, who joined the group from TVN in 2009 and took over financial oversight in 2016, will depart the company on July 31. Her resignation is reportedly due to "plans for further professional career development outside the structures of the Polsat Plus Group."

Anna Miller-Pytlak, who has been with the group for over a decade, primarily in telecommunications companies acquired by Zygmunt Solorz and Cyfrowy Polsat, has been appointed to succeed Ostap-Tomann. Miller-Pytlak currently serves as director of the financial reporting and control department and was deputy CFO. Eryk Walkiewicz, responsible for financing and liquidity, will take over as deputy CFO, having been with the group for 30 years.

Thank you very much, Kasia, for 17 years of close cooperation and for the huge contribution to the development and ensuring the financial stability of our Group. Thanks to her strategic thinking, professionalism, and excellent management, our Group could implement ambitious projects and goals with a sense of full security. I wish Kasia success on her new career path and many further successes.

Congratulations on the promotion to Anna, who has been working with us for 17 years and successfully served as deputy CFO. This is a natural career path. I am deeply convinced that entrusting her with the new function guarantees the full continuity and stability in managing our Group's finances. I am pleased with Eryk's promotion, whose role is extremely important in the context of next year's debt refinancing. Our finances are in good hands, which allows us to be calm about the implementation of the Polsat Plus Group's long-term goals.
