Ahold Seeking New CFO

Ahold has launched an international search for a new CFO, as the current holder of that role, Kimberly Ross, has accepted the position of CFO with New York-based global beauty company Avon, and will leave in November.

“Kimberly has played a major role at Ahold in the 10 years she has been with us,” noted Dick Boer, CEO of the Amsterdam-based retail conglomerate. “Today we are a stable and financially sound company with a strong balance sheet.”

Since joining Ahold in September 2001, Ross has held various executive roles in the areas of treasury, tax, and finance, becoming CFO and a member of the corporate executive board in November 2007.
