Krein Bons is stepping down as CEO of jewellery chain Lucardi due to health reasons. The Dutch chain has started looking for a successor for the former vanHaren CEO and Deichmann director, while other board members will temporarily take over his tasks.
Long covid
Bons only started as CEO at Lucardi in February this year, but now has to resign his position due to health reasons. He is said to be struggling with the effects of long covid, RetailTrends reports, but the CEO will remain involved with Lucardi as an advisor.
The jewellery retailer, which has nearly 140 shops and 1,100 employees, is implementing a new shop concept, opened pilot shops in Belgium and Germany and launched a new webshop just today.
Bons was CEO at vanHaren for 26 years and brought the shoe chain to Belgium. In May 2022, he announced his departure from the company to take things a little easier. He is also chairman of trade association InRetail.
