The representatives of the Tiriac group did not comment on the information. Leonard Leca became chief financial officer of the group in 2006 and took over the chief executive officer duties from Petru Vaduva, who left to run national gas transmission company Transgaz (TGN.RO) last year.

Dragos Dinu, 47, could become the 12th CEO of the Tiriac Holdings, a group with more than EUR500 million revenue. Dinu was CEO of computer, electronics and home appliances retailer Domo until last October, a company with about EUR132 million revenue in 2013, up from EUR100 million in 2012. He had been appointed to the position for a three-year term early in 2013, after having been a board member for several months.

Dinu was also CEO of A&D Pharma, the largest local pharmaceutical group (which includes Sensiblu retail pharmacy chain and wholesaler Mediplus) in 2002-2008.
