He will replace Marco Giudici, who after three years at helm of the local Lidl operations got a strategic position in the international procurement team of the Lidl Group.

Lidl Romania started an organizational transformation process during Giudici’s term, with a number of programs for employees.

The new CEO, José Alberto Chueca Val, has financial, legal and retail experience and has been with the Lidl Group for almost 15 years and has served as Lidl Spain’s sales and operations general manager in the last six years.
