Dan Timotin, General Manager of beer maker Ursus Breweries since July 2025, will leave the company at the end of February 2025, according to a company statement.

"During his eight months of activity, Dan efficiently fulfilled his key responsibilities and made a contribution to the organisation.

Constantinescu added that in a challenging macroeconomic context, Timotin led the company in the second half of 2025 and achieved the main objectives together with his management team, despite business environment constraints. "Dan is a pragmatic and attentive leader, with a clear strategic vision and a collaborative approach, demonstrating a performance-oriented mentality," he said.

Timotin has previously held general manager roles in North Macedonia, Czech Republic and Egypt, previously occupying top management positions in Hungary and Poland. He has over 20 years of experience in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry, covering various categories including soft drinks, coffee, beer and premium spirits.
