Ahold Delhaize USA has appointed Jason Wilson as its new chief financial officer, continuing a wave of recent C-suite changes at the grocery giant.
Wilson, a longtime executive within the organisation, will oversee financial strategy and operations across the company’s US brands, which include Food Lion, Giant Food, The Giant Company, Hannaford, and Stop & Shop.
Wilson previously served as SVP of finance at Food Lion for over seven years, where he played a key role in growth initiatives such as new store openings and remodels across the brand’s 10-state footprint.
He began his career with Ahold Delhaize USA’s predecessor in 2000, rising through roles in strategy, finance, business development, and category management.
“Jason has extensive industry experience and is a proven leader,” said JJ Fleeman, CEO of Ahold Delhaize USA. “He brings a customer-first mindset and a relentless focus that will enable our US. businesses to continue to thrive.”
Wilson joins a reshaped executive team that also includes Sanja Krajnovic as chief supply chain officer, Keith Nicks as chief commercial and digital officer, and a newly appointed CIO, all named earlier this year.
“It’s an honor to take on this role and contribute to the growth of our businesses,” said Wilson. “Together, we will continue our momentum and support each of the U.S. brands in delivering omnichannel growth.”
Ahold Delhaize operates more than 2,000 stores across 23 US states, reinforcing its position as a leading food retail group in the country.
