Billon Group, a pioneering technology company, has announced a strategic leadership transition designed to bolster the company’s growth and ensure its continued success in the dynamic financial technology sector.
In a significant move reflecting the company’s robust succession planning and commitment to innovation, Wojciech Kostrzewa will transition from his role as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to become the Chairman of the Board, effective March 13, 2024.
Kostrzewa, who has been at the helm of Billon Group for five years, has been instrumental in steering the company through a tumultuous period characterized by the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical tensions, and macroeconomic challenges. Under his leadership, Billon Group has navigated these obstacles with resilience, driving the company to financial stability and growth. His efforts in leading and participating in every financing round since January 2019 have underscored his commitment to the company’s prosperity. As Chairman, Kostrzewa’s profound understanding of the business, industry expertise, and strong relationships within the financial community are expected to continue providing invaluable strategic direction and fostering shareholder value.
In tandem with Kostrzewa’s new appointment, the Board is delighted to announce the promotion of Robert Kaluza, co-founder and Chief Operating Officer (COO), to the position of Chief Executive Officer. Kaluza’s deep involvement in Billon Group’s daily operations and development since its inception, along with his track record of driving operational excellence, positions him as the ideal successor to lead the company. His operational prowess, strategic insight, and collaborative leadership style are anticipated to seamlessly transition him into the CEO role, guiding Billon Group toward new milestones and achievements.
The leadership transition marks a new chapter for Billon Group, emphasizing the importance of succession planning and the passing of the baton to the younger generation of leaders. The Board expresses its profound gratitude to Wojciech Kostrzewa for his exceptional tenure as CEO and looks forward to his continued influence as Chairman. Simultaneously, the Board is enthusiastic about Robert Kaluza’s elevation to CEO, confident in his capabilities to steer Billon Group towards sustained success and innovation in the fintech industry.
