This Tuesday, Colruyt Group announced via a press release that Executive Chairman Jef Colruyt will hand over the day-to-day management of the group to Stefan Goethaert, who will become CEO, from July 1, 2023.
The company also announces that Jef Colruyt will remain Chairman of the Board of Colruyt Group.
“After 10 years with the group, he (Stefan Goethaert) has the necessary background and in-depth knowledge of the different activities that will enable him to continue to define and execute Colruyt Group’s strategy in a changing retail market. “Explains Jef Colruyt, quoted in the press release.
Stefan Goethaert joined Colruyt Group in December 2012. Since April 2022, he has been Chief Operating Officer (COO) Food Production, Business and Group Services. “I’m not going to replace Jef, it’s impossible,” said the man in the columns of Gondola magazine. “When you see how he built the group’s identity and culture… That’s one of the reasons why I’m here. I am therefore reassured for the future. We have solid foundations. »
Should we nevertheless expect changes? According to our colleagues, this is not on the agenda. The group will continue to focus on four business areas (food, health, non-food and energy) and is expected to make one main change by accelerating the digitization of the Xtra platform.
