WARSAW (Reuters) - Polish refiner Orlen said on Monday that its chief financial officer, Janusz Szewczak, has resigned, along with two more members of its management board, in a continued shakeup following the dismissal of its CEO last week.

CEO Daniel Obajtek's dismissal, announced on Thursday and effective Monday, came after the new Polish government pledged to purge state-controlled companies of people it considers political nominees of the previous ruling party.

Orlen announced the resignation of Szewczak in a regulatory filing on Monday without elaborating.

It also announced earlier on Monday that two members of the 11-member management board, Patrycja Klarecka and Armen Artwich, have resigned. That followed the resignation on Friday of the management board member in charge of wholesale and international trade, Michal Rog.
