He then became Chief Executive Officer of Avon in 2018, leaving last year after a successful turnaround of its business which ultimately resulted in an acquisition of the company by The Natura & Co.
Peter Agnefjäll, Chair of Ahold Delhaize’s Supervisory Board, commented: “We are pleased to propose Jan for appointment to the Supervisory Board. He will bring extensive international experience, consumer insights in a broad range of products and valuable knowledge of the global retail space.
