The Dutchman is currently CEO of the British distribution and outsourcing company Bunzl, as well as director of the Irish construction group Grafton. The succession enters into force after the general meeting of shareholders on 8 April, the retailer announced in a press release.
“We are pleased to propose Frank for appointment to the Supervisory Board. He is a seasoned executive and will bring extensive international experience and expertise from a highly complex”, chairman Jan Hommen said.
