Belgian retailer Delhaize has announced that its CEO of European operations, Stéfan Descheemaeker, has decided to resign from his role, effective 31 October.
Delhaize chief executive Pierre-Olivier Beckers thanked Descheemaeker for his contributions to the success of the group in Europe.
“In both his former capacity as CFO and then as CEO of Delhaize Europe, Stéfan has been an energetic leader who raised the organisation’s focus on cash-flow generation and brought the company to a higher level of performance while steadfastly promoting the company values,” said Beckers. “I want to wish him well in his future endeavours.”
As a result of his departure, Delhaize has announced several organisational changes to come into force on 1 November, with Kostas Macheras (group executive vice-president and CEO for southeast Europe and Asia) and Dirk Van den Berghe (CEO for Belgium) both now reporting directly to incoming chief executive Frans Muller.
“I look forward to working directly with both Kostas and Dirk to continue building on the positive momentum of our European businesses to generate further progress,” noted Muller.
