The transition aims to ensure business continuity while placing an established leader at the helm of the company’s growth plans. Alexandru Ștefan brings nearly 20 years of experience in high-level commercial and leadership roles and has been a core member of the Wolt team for the past three years, focusing on expanding the platform’s partner network nationwide.
“Alexandru brings a powerful combination of operational depth, strategic clarity, analytical rigor, and a partner-oriented mindset. He has been a vital part of the company’s success in Romania since 2023. We are confident that, under his leadership, Wolt will continue to strengthen its local presence, offering even greater value to our customers, couriers, and the thousands of businesses we support,” says Matko Katanec, Head of Marketplace for Central Europe at Wolt.
The new structure is designed to keep local operations agile and aligned with the company’s global innovation engine. By appointing a leader from within the existing core team, Wolt intends to maintain current partner relationships and service standards without disruption.
“I am honored to take on this responsibility at such an important time for Wolt in Romania. My objective is clear: to build on the incredible foundation we have established and ensure that Wolt remains the most trusted partner for local commerce. We have a talented team here, and our commitment to the Romanian market – our partners, our customers, and the cities we serve – is stronger than ever,” adds Alexandru Stefan.
Wolt currently operates in 34 cities across Romania, including Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Timisoara, and Iasi. This leadership change marks the company’s transition from an emerging startup to a mature market player focused on long-term sustainability and local economic impact.
