Polish fibre optic network operator Hawe has named Pawel Sobkow as the new chairman of its management board.
He replaces Piotr Kubaszewski, whom the supervisory board dismissed from the role at a meeting yesterday, the Warsaw-listed company said in a statement.
Kubaszewski was hired in September 2014 in to replace Krzysztof Witon.
Sobkow joins Hawe, owner of Hawe Telekom, from the National Capital Fund’s Inovo Venture Fund, where he has been managing director since June 2012.
Last December, local investment advisory holding PTI revealed plans to acquire a 33.86% stake in Hawe. PTI said it had signed letters of intent with Hawe’s two largest shareholders, Trinitybay Investments and Marek Falenta, to open talks on the purchase of all their shares in the telecoms company.
Hawe Telekom uses its fibre optic network to provide telecoms services to other operators, including mobile, fixed-line, cable and internet providers.
Last November, Hawe reportedly made a preliminary bid for TK Telekom, the telecoms unit of state-controlled railway company PKP. At the time, a Hawe spokesperson declined to comment on the topic due to a non-disclosure agreement.
PKP expects to complete the sale of TK Telekom by the end of the first half of 2015.
