Ahold has announced that its chief financial officer Kimberly Ross has accepted a position outside the company, and will leave in November, remaining active in the role until that time.
The Dutch group said that an 'international search' was now on to find a replacement for Ross, who joined Ahold in September 2001 and has held a number of senior positions in the financial segment.
'Kimberly has played a major role at Ahold in the 10 years she has been with us,' said Ahold CEO Dick Boer. 'Today we are a stable and financially sound company with a strong balance sheet. I would like to thank Kimberly for all she has achieved for us and I look forward to continuing to work with her in the months ahead as we look for her successor.'
René Dahan, chairman of Ahold's supervisory board, added: 'On behalf of the supervisory board, I would like to thank Kimberly for her contribution to Ahold during her time with us. I, along with my fellow board members, express our appreciation and gratitude to her for her years of commitment and hard work. We wish her much luck in her new endeavor.'
