The previous CEO, Dmytro Lypa, resigned following the end of the 2024–2025 heating season. A new selection process was launched to find his successor, but it was halted in November 2025 after the publication of the Mindich tapes. According to unofficial sources, the Supervisory Board was preparing to appoint one of the individuals mentioned in the tapes as CEO.

In the interim, Vladislav Medvedev, Chief Operating Officer of the GTSU, temporarily served as CEO.
