About Kevin Holt

Kevin Holt serves as an independent director of VusionGroup, the French listed technology company focused on digital solutions for physical retail. His career has been built in international grocery and mass retail, with extensive senior leadership experience in operations, transformation, and large-scale store execution. He began his career in 1982 at NCR Corporation in sales and marketing, an early technology environment that helped shape a strong appreciation for customer needs, innovation, and measurable performance. In 1993, he moved into retail and held a range of leadership roles within Meijer and Supervalu, where he developed deep expertise in distribution networks, store operations, and the practical levers that drive retail productivity. Kevin Holt later took on major leadership roles at Delhaize Group, where he served as Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Delhaize America from 2014 to 2016. This period marked a significant step in his career, placing him at the helm of a major international food retail business during a time of intense competitive pressure, margin discipline, and changing consumer expectations. In 2016, he joined Ahold Delhaize, first as Chief Operating Officer and then as Chief Executive Officer of Ahold Delhaize USA, while also serving on the group’s Executive Committee until 2023. These responsibilities gave him broad exposure to complex operating models, omnichannel retail transformation, and the governance demands of a large multinational organization. At VusionGroup, Holt’s board-level role brings valuable insight into the priorities of major retailers, the realities of managing store networks, and the operational implications of digitalizing the point of sale. His background combines strong retail execution credentials with strategic leadership and corporate governance experience. A graduate of Ferris State University with a degree in business economics, he is well positioned to support a company whose growth depends on technological innovation, operational efficiency, and close alignment with global retail clients.
