Poland’s largest IT group is preparing for a historic changing of the guard. The general meeting of Asseco Poland has officially appointed Adam Góral, the company’s founder and long-standing president, to the supervisory board for a new term covering 2027-2031. The decision seals a carefully planned succession process at the technology giant. On 1 January 2027, the company’s leader will step down, handing over the reins to his current deputy, vice-president Rafal Kozlowski.
This move closes a key chapter in the history of the Polish business. Adam Góral had been building the company’s power since 1991, developing the Comp Rzeszów project. Under his leadership, the local company was transformed into Asseco Poland, successfully floated on the Warsaw Stock Exchange and embarked on a broad expansion into international markets. Moving the creator of this success from the chairman’s seat to a supervisory role is clearly intended to guarantee the company’s long-term strategic stability.
The handover process itself is not a market shock, as succession plans were announced well in advance as early as 2023. This allows investors and business partners to get used to the new management structure smoothly. Highlander is not leaving the company, but swapping operational management for the position of chief strategist.
A group of proven experts and industry veterans will sit with him on the new supervisory board. The general meeting decided that current chairman Jacek Duch would join for a five-year term, as well as Dariusz Brzeski, Dagmara Cieśla, Beata Czarnacka-Chrobot, Artur Gabor, Robin van Poelje, Christopher Siemiaszko and Ramon Zanders. This balance of power at the highest level clearly signals that Asseco is betting on evolution rather than revolution, securing its chosen course for further global growth.
