General Director and Chairman of the Board of Czech Railways Michal Krapinec resigned from leading the state transport company on Wednesday. He will leave office on August 31. From September, he is to be replaced by current top director of the Ministry of Transport Lenka Hamplová, who will become the first woman to head the company. idnes.cz ↗
Krapinec's departure came after a meeting of the Supervisory Board of Czech Railways. According to published information, it was also related to his security clearance at the Confidential level, which he recently returned with the reasoning that he does not need it for the performance of his duties. Some articles also mention political criticism that in recent days concerned, among other things, operational matters in trains. irozhlas.cz ↗
Krapinec has been leading Czech Railways since 2022. His departure marks a swift change in the management of the state transport company, which is among the most visible state-owned enterprises. New management takes over at a time when the company is addressing operational issues, public scrutiny of its finances, and a long-term competition for contracts in passenger railway transport. e15.cz ↗
Hamplová comes to the head of Czech Railways from the Ministry of Transport, thus from an environment that has a direct relationship to the state's railway policy. The near future will show how the Supervisory Board and new management will explain the reasons for the personnel change and what priorities the company will set after the new CEO takes office in September. denikn.cz ↗
