Ahold today announced a series of
changes in its European and US businesses to create a strong platform
for future growth.
The reorganization in both continents delineates the responsibility
for running operations, supporting the operations, and business
development. The changes will ensure a sharper focus on local
customer needs, provide efficient and effective support functions in
each continent, and a more robust approach to business development.
The changes will further simplify and standardize processes and
structure to ensure the company can integrate acquisitions more
easily, as it pursues its strategy for profitable growth.
Dick Boer, the COO for Ahold Europe, member of the Corporate
Executive Board, and CEO of Ahold Netherlands, continues to be
responsible for all European activities and has appointed Sander van
der Laan to head Albert Heijn as its new general manager. Van der
Laan will return to the Netherlands from his current role at
Giant-Carlisle in the United States to start in January 2010.
