Metro accelerates its transformation and continues its digital development
After more than 20 years at the head of Metro, Monique Raaffels, in agreement with the management of the Groupe Rossel, has decided to leave the general management of Metro. We would like to especially thank Monique for her leadership and commitment to Metro!
On this occasion, it was decided to attach Metro to the Soir division from Rossel, managed by Olivier De Raeymaeker. Werner Sluys is appointed COO (Chief Operating Officer) of Metro and takes over the operational management of Metro.
Without compromising the power of the print newspaper, the priority of the Metro team is to continue its digital development. The launch of a new version of its sites in May 2021 is only one step towards an increasingly rich digital experience that complements the print newspaper.
Young Active Urbans, a particularly connected and engaged target group, are a priority for the Groupe Rossel today and for its future development. In this perspective, Rossel has taken various initiatives to strengthen its leadership in this segment. More information can be found in the Groupe Rossel press release:
