Just Eat Takeaway.com NV on Wednesday said it has hired Mayte Oosterveld as chief financial officer, saying the company will benefit from her ‘proven capital allocation expertise’.

The Amsterdam-based food delivery ordering platform said Oosterveld will join the company as CFO and a member of the management board at its annual general meeting in May.

Oosterveld joins Just Eat from Plus Holding BV, a co-operative supermarket chain headquartered in Utrecht, Netherlands, where she is CFO.

Just Eat described Oosterveld as an ‘experienced, all-round financial specialist’, who has gained financial and strategic experience while working for Goldman Sachs Group Inc and Ahold Delhaize NV, a retail and wholesale holding company based in the Netherlands.

Oosterveld’s ‘proven capital allocation expertise’, alongside her background in mergers and acquisitions will be ‘highly valuable’ to Just Eat, the company said.

Oosterveld replaces CFO Brent Wissink, who will step down at the May AGM after 13 years with the company. Just Eat will report its annual results on February 28.

Just Eat’s supervisory board chair, Dick Boer, said: ‘I have had the pleasure of working with Mayte previously at Ahold Delhaize, where she headed the mergers and acquisitions department, expanded her experience in leading financial planning and performance and driving the synergies of the combined company and was responsible for many transactions, including the merger with Delhaize. She will bring strong finance leadership to the management board.’

Shares in Just Eat Takeaway were up 0.7% at 1,215.00 pence each in London on Wednesday morning.
