The new executive committee will simplify the company’s governance structure and decision-making process, and ensure that the company’s business and functional leaders are represented at the highest level.
Joining Ahold to become part of the seven-strong executive committee is Hanneke Faber as chief commercial officer. Hanneke, reporting to CEO Dick Boer, joins Ahold from Procter & Gamble, where she worked in various senior general management and marketing roles in the US, Switzerland, Greece and the Netherlands.
“Following the development and implementation of Reshaping Retail, Ahold is now at a point to adjust its leadership structure in a way that will best drive and support our growth phase,” said CEO Dick Boer. “Furthermore, I am delighted that we have Hanneke joining our company. Coming from a world-class marketing organisation, she will provide us with key insights in leading online and customer loyalty initiatives going forward.”
The members of the executive committee will officially take up their roles starting 1 September 2013.
