Director Health & Sustainability (Europe & Indonesia) at Ahold Delhaize

AHOLD DELHAIZE

Ahold Delhaize is one of the world’s largest food retail groups, a leader in supermarkets and e-commerce, and a company that is making progress to be at the forefront of sustainable retailing. Its 19 local brands serve more than 63 million shoppers each week in the United States, Europe and Indonesia. With 402 thousand associates working across 7,000 stores to serve local communities, it has a global reach.

Together, we are dedicated to inspiring everyone to eat and live better, for a healthier future for people and the planet.

Since November 2020, I serve as its in-house Director Health & Sustainability to accelerate the health & sustainability readiness, capability and performance of the brands in Europe and Indonesia and to drive cross-brand collaboration. Working with the global Health & Sustainability team and the brands in this region, I help to define the ambition, strategy and plan. In doing so, I am part of the region’s executive team and the global Sustainability Leadership Team.

It was a pleasure to have Paulette on the Sustainability Leadership Team for Ahold Delhaize, where she represented the Europe & Indonesia business region. Paulette is a valued team player who knows what she is talking about. She leverages her expertise, passion, creativity and networks to mobilize the energy and oversee the development of initiatives and solutions in a multi-brand multi-country context, without shying away from the difficult dilemmas. And she does all that in a very pleasant and collegial way.
