Changes in the Nowy Styl Management Board
Nowy Styl, one of Europe's leaders in the furniture industry, has announced changes in the Management Board. Adam Krzanowski, co-founder and President, and Rafał Chwast, Vice President, will be joined by Małgorzata Naparło and Paweł Smaś as Board Members. The decision follows Roman Przybylski's departure from the organisation, who has decided to take up new challenges and leave the company.
I had the pleasure to work with Roman from the first days of his professional career. I would like to thank Roman for over 20 years of work at Nowy Styl and his huge contribution to the development of the company. I wish Roman much success in the next stages of his career.
Business life abhors a vacuum and Roman Przybylski's decision to take up new professional challenges in another industry gave us the impulse to rethink the structure in which we have been operating for years. We are even happier that we have built an organization that is able to select a team at such an express pace to manage the Nowy Styl group and give it an impetus for a next development phase
