After six years of leading Deli Home, Victor Aquina will hand over his role as CEO to Eugène Sterken, effective January 1, 2025.

Frank van der Vloed, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, added: “With Eugène’s arrival, Deli Home gains a seasoned leader with a proven track record who is deeply aligned with the organization’s strategy and growth potential. We also extend our heartfelt thanks to Victor for his outstanding contributions over the past six years. He played a crucial role in transitioning the company to its new shareholder, Ardian, in 2021, and significantly improved its performance, doubling profitability in recent years. Under his leadership, the organization successfully integrated several national and international acquisitions and underwent a major transformation into a provider of customized products to enhance living spaces, contributing to the company’s continued success.”
Victor Aquina: “I look back on my time at Deli Home with great fondness and pride. Together with my colleagues, we can be proud of the achievements and innovations we’ve realized in building the Digital Carpenter of Europe. It has been an honor to lead such a passionate and talented team. I wish Eugène every success in his new role and am confident that Deli Home will continue to grow and flourish under his leadership.”
