P. Jašinskas will chair the boards of “Maxima” sales business, while  R. Kižienė will head “Euroapotheca” pharmacy business

In order to bring challenges under control, corporate governance model of “Vilniaus Prekyba” transformed in the beginning of this year - boards of operational business companies were established, including members of the boards and CEOs of parent and associated companies. After the model answered the purpose, Vilniaus Prekyba decided to appoint CEOs of main “Maxima” businesses in the Baltic States to members of the boards of “Maxima Grupė” and “Franmax”. The Chair of the Board of UAB “Vilniaus Prekyba” will continue chairing boards of “Maxima” business companies, while teams of heads of business will play the main role in “Maxima Grupė” operational business companies “Maxima LT”, “Maxima Latvija” and “Maxima Eesti”.

“Establishment of the boards met all expectations - it sped up decision-making and increased synergy in “Maxima Grupė” and helped establish the necessary direction in the largest company of our business “Maxima LT”. In order to ensure dynamic and determined “Maxima” business management, we are taking yet another step involving in the composition of the board of “Maxima Grupė” heads of main business companies” - said P. Jašinskas.

Since now on, Director of UAB “Vilniaus Prekyba” R. Kižienė will focus more on the development of pharmacy business while continuing working in the board of UAB “Euroapotheca”. “Having assessed the opportunities in the market, we are starting a new stage of the development of “Euroapotheca” group. We are an experienced and ambitious team prepared to take advantage of our business experience and energy for intensive development and growth in promising markets” - said R. Kižienė.

UAB “Vilniaus Prekyba” implemented corporate governance changes of its subsidiaries in February of this year - boards and supervisory boards were formed or realigned in “Maxima Grupė”, “Maxima LT”, “Maxima Latvija”, “Maxima Eesti”, “Euroapotheca”, “Akropolis Group”, “Ermitažas” and “Franmax”.
