Cybersecurity: Threats and DefencesBackground
Frans Muller is a Dutch retail executive and the president and chief executive of Ahold Delhaize. He moved into the top job after serving as deputy chief executive and chief integration officer, a role tied to combining the Ahold and Delhaize businesses.
Before the merged group, Muller led Delhaize Group. His career therefore spans leadership of a predecessor company, the integration period and the resulting multinational retailer. That history is central to his current relevance: he has managed Ahold Delhaize from its post-merger structure rather than joining after the organisation was established.
