PwC Romania will recruit the private managers of the state owned companies controlled by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure

PwC Romania, in consortium with correspondent law firm D&B David si Baias and George Butunoiu Group, will provide consultancy services for the recruitment of the private managers of 10 state companies controlled by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure. The 10 companies are: Compania Nationala de Cai Ferate CFR, Societatea Nationala de Transport Feroviar de Calatori (CFR Calatori), Compania Nationala de Autostrazi si Drumuri Nationale din Romania CNADNR, Compania Nationala Administratia Porturilor Maritime Constanta, Compania Nationala Administratia Canalelor Navigabile, TAROM, Compania Nationala Aeroporturi Bucuresti SA, Societatea Nationala Aeroportul International Traian Vuia Timisoara, Societatea Comerciala de Transport Metroul Bucuresti (METROREX SA), and SC Telecomunicatii CFR SA. 

The recruitment process should be finalized by the end of this year. Overall, more than 50 managers will be recruited, 10 CEOs and 43  non-executive Board members. 

"Introducing private management to state owned companies is a key objective of Romania's agreement with the International Monetary Fund and a major step forward in improving corporate governance of these firms. Improving efficiency, streamlining the processes, eliminating arrears and growing the value of the companies for their stakeholders, the Romanian tax payers, should be the main targets of the new private managers”, stated Vasile Iuga, Country Managing Partner, PwC Romania.

"PwC has always been at the forefront of the efforts to modernize the Romanian economy, being involved in key privatizations such as that of Electrica Muntenia Sud, the largest privatization ever undertaken in the Romanian energy sector, or in drafting groundbreaking legislation, such as the insolvency laws and the Insolvency Code. We are proud to be involved in yet another milestone project and we trust to see tangible results in the near future”, added Vasile Iuga. 

The Human Resources Consultancy team of PwC Romania will be in charge  with drafting the main responsibilities and the key performance indicators of the selected private managers and non-executive board members and proposing a reward matrix in line with the objectives and performance of these managers. D&B David si Baias lawyers specialized in labour law will handle all the legal issues posed by the mandate contracts that need to be signed with each selected manager, while George Butunoiu's team of experts will deal with the selection and recruitment process.
