Former CEO of the Auchan retail chain in Russia, Johannes Tolay, headed Metro’s Russian division, Metro’s press service reported. He took office on March 1.
It should be noted that the company will not change its strategy in the field of wholesale trade with B2B and B2C clients. Key tasks for the near future will be the active development of e-commerce management and support programs for B2B partners in the restaurant and hotel business.
For 17 years, Tolai worked for the German hypermarket chain in Russia Globus (Hyperglobus). It was he who took part in the company’s entry into the Russian market. In 2018, Tolai took over as Commercial Director of X5 Retail Group, and a year later, he led Auchan Retail Russia.
Tolai joined Metro in October 2022 and served as Deputy CEO until March 1.
