Frans Muller, CEO of Ahold Delhaize, further praises Van Egmond as a leader who developed Albert Heijn into an innovative omnichannel retailer. Having joined Ahold as a management intern in 2017, she has since held various commercial, operational and management positions within the company. She joined the Albert Heijn management team a decade ago as Executive Vice President Commerce, and now leads three of Ahold's chains. The process to find a successor has already been put in motion.
