Amsterdam-based Just Eat Takeaway.com’s CFO Brent Wissink steps down: Know more 

Amsterdam-based Just Eat Takeaway.com, an online food delivery marketplace, announced on Wednesday that it has recently made a change to its leadership. 

Brent Wissink, the current Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and member of the Management Board will be stepping down from his role. 

This decision comes as Brent expressed his intention to explore new opportunities outside the company. 

Wissink says, “It has been an honour to have been part of the Just Eat Takeaway.com journey over the past years. Since 2011, when I joined the Company, the Company transformed from a local Dutch player into one of the world’s leading global online food delivery marketplaces. I am proud to have had the opportunity to contribute to the success of Just Eat Takeaway.com.” 

He adds, “I would like to thank my fellow Management Board members, the Supervisory Board and all employees of Just Eat Takeaway.com for their hard work and commitment to Just Eat Takeaway.com. I look forward to continuing working with the team to ensure a smooth transition and to help identify my successor.”

The transition is scheduled to take place during the annual general meeting in May 2024. The company’s Supervisory Board will now commence the process of seeking a suitable successor for the CFO position, ensuring a smooth transition of responsibilities. 

Dick Boer, Chair of the Supervisory Board of Just Eat Takeaway.com, says, “The Supervisory Board respects the rationale of Brent Wissink’s decision and regretfully accepted his resignation. Brent can be proud of what has been achieved since he joined the Company, from the first-ever investor round in 2011, the initial public offering in 2016 to multiple mergers and acquisitions. His efforts for the Company as Chief Financial Officer and as member of the Management Board are tremendously appreciated.”

Jitse Groen, CEO of Just Eat Takeaway.com, says, “There are always many fathers of success in stories such as ours, but there are only a few that actually deserve that title. Brent is a clear father of the success of JET, and I am confident that we would have not made it this far without him. I regret to lose him, but of course, understand that it is time for Brent to pursue new challenges.

Last month, Just Eat Takeaway.com, one of the main partners of all UEFA club competitions, announced its intention to accelerate the use of sustainable packaging across UEFA competition finals this summer.

Fans attending the UEFA Women’s Champions League final in Eindhoven will be given reusable packaging when ordering their meals as part of a circular packaging initiative led by Just Eat Takeaway.com, PepsiCo, and Heineken.

This packaging will be returned at the conclusion of the game, washed, and then used for future events. As part of this initiative, Just Eat Takeaway wants to replace more than 20,000 pieces of single-use plastic packaging.
