AMSTERDAM — Heineken N.V. is changing its leadership.
After 15 years with the company, Chairman of the Executive Board and CEO Jean-Francois van Boxmeer will step down from his position at the global brewer.
He will be succeeded by Dolf van den Brink, who is president of the Asia Pacific region and an executive team member. The transition will be effective June 1.
Boxmeer said he felt it was time to hand over leadership to the next generation. He will become a nonexecutive member of the board of directors June 1.
“Under his stewardship, the company more than doubled in size due to both strong organic growth and transformational deals that turned Heineken into the most global brewer, with iconic brands enjoyed by consumers on all continents,” said Jean-Marc Huet, chairman of the supervisory board. “Not only did he deliver superior top-line growth and an excellent business performance, he also developed and nurtured a diverse and great talent pool across the world.”
Brink has worked at Heineken for 22 years. His successor has not yet been announced.
Amsterdam-based Heineken N.V. has a portfolio of more than 250 international, regional, local and specialty beers and ciders. Heineken USA is based White Plains, N.Y.
