First woman appointed to lead Port of Gdansk
At a meeting held on 7 June 2013, the PGA SA Supervisory Board adjudicated the qualification procedure supplementing the management of the Gdansk port. The position of President of the Management Board was entrusted into the hands of Dorota Raben, the Port of Gdansk press release.
The position of Vice President of the Management Board for Financial Matters was bestowed onto Marek Pietruszewski. Additionally, the term in office for the new composition of the Management Board was scheduled to commence as of 15 July 2013. Until that date, the Management Board will continue as a one-person board headed by Jerzy Melaniuk, who has so far held the position of Vice President for Infrastructure.
For the first time in its history, the Gdansk port was entrusted into the hands of a woman. Dorota Raben is a graduate of the Faculty of Chemistry of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan. She spent 23 years of her professional life working for logistics, consultancy-training and management companies, constantly improving her qualifications at the Western-European universities. She is an expert in supply chains and personal consultancy. While searching for her favourite place on earth - speaking about herself on Friday - "I'm trying to do everything that makes sense... keeping in mind, however, a touch of craziness, which is indispensible in the contemporary world."
Marek Pietruszewski has systematically taken advantage of his education in economy and also in engineering while pursuing his professional career since he graduated from the Lublin University of Technology in 1996. His responsibilities required constant attention to money flow on the international markets, providing a natural drive for his MBA study in Bristol and Paris, and recently a Ph.D. study in the Faculty of Management and Marketing at the Warsaw School of Economics. In addition to my experience gained on the rapidly growing financial market, the most important to me - as he claims himself - is to attain a full agreement among all members of the board concerning projects and directions for development.
