Ahold Delhaize sees departure of Czech brand president

Ahold Delhaize said Petr Pavlik, brand president of Albert in the Czech Republic, will leave the company to pursue opportunities elsewhere, with his duties transitioning immediately. Pavlik rejoined Ahold Delhaize in 2025 after previously serving as SVP from 2016-2020, overseeing commercial, marketing and format areas. Jesper Lauridsen, COO of its CSE region, will lead Albert on an interim basis while it seeks a successor. (Ahold Delhaize)
