The two networks will retain their current management, but the Mega Image CEO Mircea Moga and Profi’s CEO Mihai Spulber will report to the Belgian executive directly.
Xavier Piesvaux (58) is no stranger to the Romanian market, having served as Mega Image CEO between 2006 and 2015. Under his leadership, Mega Image turned into one of the largest retail chains in Romania, which currently numbers about 1,000 stores. In 2015, when he left, Mega Image had most stores of all. Now, the leader by that number is Profi (about 1,750, according to the latest ZF data).
In his new position, Xavier Piesvaux will report to Claude Sarrailh, CEO of Ahold Delhaize Europe & Indonesia.
