Since October 2026, AB Group (WSE: ABE) has been led by a four-member Management Board chaired by President and CEO Zbigniew Mądry. Grzegorz Ochędzan continues in his role as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, while the two newly appointed Vice Presidents are Patrycja Gawarecka, Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), and Jarosław Słowiński, Chief Operating Officer (COO). The new Management Board combines many years of experience within AB Group with expertise covering the Company’s key areas of development.

The Supervisory Board of AB S.A. has appointed Patrycja Gawarecka and Jarosław Słowiński to the Management Board as part of the next stage in strengthening AB Group’s management capabilities, particularly in sales growth and digital transformation, vendor relations, and operational efficiency. The expansion of the Management Board is consistent with the earlier succession process, which culminated in March this year with Zbigniew Mądry assuming the role of President of the Management Board of AB. At that time, Vice President Grzegorz Ochędzan was also appointed for the new four-year term of office covering 2026–2030.

– The decision to expand the Management Board reflects our confidence in the managers who have contributed to AB Group’s success for many years and are responsible for key areas of its operations. Patrycja Gawarecka and Jarosław Słowiński bring the expertise, experience and in-depth knowledge of the organisation that will provide valuable support for the Company’s continued growth. I am confident that the new Management Board will successfully deliver AB Group’s ambitious business objectives and continue to build value for its shareholders – says Michał Wnorowski, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of AB S.A.

– AB Group is now an organisation generating annual revenue of PLN 17 billion, operating across multiple fast-changing markets and harnessing new opportunities arising from digitalisation and technological development. In such an environment, operational effectiveness, rapid decision-making and close cooperation across all business areas are critical. The appointment of Patrycja Gawarecka and Jarosław Słowiński to the Management Board strengthens our capabilities in the areas where we see the greatest potential for further growth. I am confident that, with the new Board composition, we will successfully implement AB Group’s growth plan and capitalise on the opportunities created by the market – says Zbigniew Mądry, President of the Management Board of AB S.A.
