Delhaize Group announced today, 14 June, that Jean-Pierre Hansen is to resign from the Board of Directors with effect from 30 June 2013.
Commenting on his resignation, Hansen, a former chief executive at energy company Electralabel, said, “It is with deep regret that I leave this Board. My commitments in the energy sector and different additional duties that I have assumed since I joined the Delhaize Group Board in 2011 are requiring more attention than I initially believed. I have very much enjoyed working with great colleagues on the Board and wish the company well in its future growth."
Mats Jansson, chairman of the Board, described Hansen as a "prominent figure in the European business world with impressive experience gained outside of our sector". He added, "Jean-Pierre Hansen brought a very thoughtful and highly valued contribution to the Board and he will be greatly missed." (14 June)
