RadioMobils Board of Directors Has a New Member

At yesterdays meeting of RadioMobils Board of Directors changes were made in the composition of this top body of the Company. The Czech manager of the Company, Marketing Director Robert Chvátal replaced Moritz Gerke, who ended his activity in Deutsche Telekom and resigned from RadioMobils Board of Directors, as a Member of the Board of Directors. This means that RadioMobils Board of Directors will be now composed of - Ing. Alex Bém (Chairman of the Board), Michael GĂĽnter (Vice-Chairman of the Board), Ing. Miroslav ÄŚuĹ?ín, Ing. Gustav Hraška, CSc., Fridbert Gerlach and Ing. Robert Chvátal.

"The fact that it is another Czech manager who will become a Member of the Board of Directors of a company whose majority owner is one of the most significant European mobile operators - the German T-Mobil, is an evidence of the fact that T-Mobil perceives RadioMobil as a fully-fledged and developed member of the European association of mobile operators," said Alex Bém, chairman of RadioMobils Board of Directors. "Furthermore, the appointment of another member of the executive management of the Company as a Member of the Board of Directors is a sign of trust in the Companys management."

RadioMobil that will celebrate five years of its existence in the Czech market in the next days, has in such a relatively short time become one of the most successful Czech companies. The factors which have contributed to this success are not only the quality of services which the Company offers its customers but at the same time a very professional approach of its employees and management.

"The appointment as a Member of the Board of Directors of the Company in which I hold the position of Marketing Director is for me a sign of a very binding trust of the shareholders and of course at the same time a great challenge for the future," says Robert Chvátal, Marketing Director and Member of the Board of RadioMobil.
