Jitse Groen steps down after 25 years as CEO following Prosus's €4.1 billion acquisition; Roberto Gandolfo to take over pending regulatory approval.
- On Tuesday, Just Eat Takeaway announced founder Jitse Groen is stepping down after a quarter-century, with Roberto Gandolfo set to succeed him on January 1, subject to approval.
- Prosus completed a €4.1 billion takeover of Just Eat Takeaway earlier this year, prompting corporate change as Groen's departure follows the takeover's October completion and Naspers's majority ownership.
- The group serves around 60 million customers and handled 19 billion in orders in 2024, strengthening its position as the fourth largest food delivery group, Prosus said.
- Naspers agreed to reduce its stake in Delivery Hero to address competition concerns, while Prosus had initially said in October that Groen and management would stay shortly after the takeover.
- Roberto Gandolfo, incoming chief and head of Prosus Europe, joined Prosus earlier this year after a decade at iFood and said he is excited to lead the firm's next chapter.
