The Supervisory Board has extended the contracts of Marcel Haraszti, Michael Jäger, and Christoph Matschke through the end of 2025 and has done so before the contractually agreed date, thereby expressing its confidence in the REWE International AG Management Board. Espen B. Larsen, who took on responsibility for full-range stores (BILLA, IKI) in Eastern Europe at the start of 2021, rounds out the team. These contract extensions set the course for reaching ambitious goals in the coming years.
“An excellent foundation of trust and the consistently good and constructive cooperation with colleagues were deciding factors in extending the contracts early. I am very pleased that we will continue to work together in the coming years on the renewal and further development of our Austrian and international activities in a challenging competitive environment. We have taken and implemented ground-breaking decisions in Austria and our other countries in the last few years and have done so with passion and commitment. We have reorganized our administration and merged BILLA and Merkur in Austria, both as organizations and brands. We have specifically strengthened our activities in Central and Eastern Europe, and in Italy. And we want to successfully continue on course for growth at full power and with stability,” explains Jan Kunath, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the REWE Group and Chairman of the REWE International AG Supervisory Board. “We have just the right team for this, and by extending our Management Board contracts through the end of 2025 we are affirming this course for growth,” Kunath continues.
