Afroditi Pampa has been named as the new chief executive of Lidl Portugal, taking over from Marin Ðoković, now promoted to the company's international structure based in Germany.
Pampa (34) has been with the company for over 10 years, having passed through Germany and, more recently, in Greece, where she was responsible for one of the regional directorates.
In addition, Ignazio Paternò is the first Italian-born president of Lidl Italia in 23 years, a post previously occupied by Daniel Marasch, who after five years in the office, will take over as president of Lidl Deutschland.
Paternò (35) has spent 11 years with Lidl Italia and until recently was the CEO for purchasing, a role that helped boost the export of Italian products in the other European subsidiaries of the retail group.
