New Chief Financial Officer at Ahold Delhaize USA: Jason Wilson
Jason Wilson, a seasoned executive with extensive experience in the grocery industry, has been appointed as the new Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Ahold Delhaize USA. Wilson has spent a significant portion of his career as a leader at various Ahold Delhaize USA companies [2][4].
In his new role, Wilson will oversee the financial strategy and operations for Ahold Delhaize USA, a leading grocery retail group on the U.S. East Coast. His responsibilities include supporting the omnichannel growth of the U.S. businesses, executing the company's Growing Together strategy and 2028 commitments, and ensuring strong financial controls and governance [2].
Wilson's contributions to Food Lion, one of Ahold Delhaize USA's retail banners, have been notable. He has led all financial activities for the brand, which recently marked 50 consecutive quarters of positive comparable-store sales [1]. As a member of the Food Lion leadership team, he provided strategic direction for the brand, including growth initiatives such as new stores and remodels throughout the chain's 10-state market area [1].
While specific detailed achievements related solely to Food Lion have not been explicitly reported, Wilson's instrumental role in supporting the omnichannel growth and strategic initiatives of the company overall suggests a positive contribution to Food Lion’s success and sustainability within the competitive grocery market [2][1].
Before his role at Food Lion, Wilson served as the SVP of Finance at the same company [4]. He holds a bachelor's degree in arts from Catawba College and an MBA from Pfeiffer University [4].
The Ahold Delhaize USA division is No. 11 on Progressive Grocer's 2025 list of the top food and consumables retailers in North America [3]. Other notable appointments within the company include Lynne Bruning-van Gessel as the Brand President of Etos, Ann Dozier as the new CIO for Ahold Delhaize USA, and Tim Bork as the Chief Commercial Officer for Ahold Delhaize Europe & Indonesia, having previously worked at Lidl [3].
Progressive Grocer named Ahold Delhaize USA one of its Retailers of the Century and among the 10 Most Sustainable Grocers of 2025 [3]. Wilson is based in Salisbury, N.C. [4]. He looks forward to working alongside the team to drive critical priorities and support the Growing Together strategy through strong financial controls and investments [2].
In his new role as CFO of Ahold Delhaize USA, Jason Wilson will oversee the financial strategy and operations of the company, which is a leading retail group in the U.S. East Coast, and is responsible for executing the company's Growing Together strategy and 2028 commitments across the entire supply chain and retail industry in the United States. The financial contributions made by Wilson at Food Lion, one of Ahold Delhaize USA's retail banners, have been considerable, as evidenced by the 50 consecutive quarters of positive comparable-store sales that the brand has achieved, mainly due to the strategic direction provided by Wilson.
