Ahold Delhaize Names Additional Executive Committee Members

In anticipation of final approval of their merger, supermarket giants Royal Ahold (The Netherlands) and Delhaize (Belgium) have named the rest of the members of the executive committee of the merged company. The future committee will comprise current management board members as well as the four new members who will report directly to the Ahold Delhaize CEO Dick Boer: Marc Croonen, chief sustainability, transformation & communications officer; Hanneke Faber, chief e-commerce & innovation officer; Jan Ernst de Groot, chief legal officer; and Abbe Luersman, chief human resources officer. The merger, announced last June, is expected to be finalized by mid-2016.
