Frank Sluis departs Ahold Delhaize and gets ready to take on Chief Financial Officer role at On

Sportswear brand, On, reports that Frank Sluis will join the company as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective 1st May.

Most recently, he served as Chief Financial Officer for Europe & Indonesia at Ahold Delhaize, a position he held since 2021. He succeeds Martin Hoffmann, who took on an expanded role as sole Chief Executive Officer (CEO) last year, while continuing his CFO responsibilities.

Caspar Coppetti, Co-Founder and Executive Co-Chairman at On, says: “We set out to identify the next right financial leader for On. Frank stood out for his personal drive that will match our pace from day one, his credibility as a strategic partner to the board and the CEO, and his proven ability to align long-term vision and financial leadership.”

Hoffmann comments: “Frank joins us at an exciting moment - our brand is resonating globally, our vision is clear, and we are executing with a level of precision that continues to drive record results.”

“He complements our management team with experience at a scale significantly larger than where we are today, yet fully aligns with our values. Frank brings a passion for our brand and a leadership style that will empower our talented team to reach new heights, and I look forward to partnering with him to further unlock our potential.”

Sluis comments: “On is a truly unique company - combining a powerful brand, strong values, and an ambitious global growth trajectory. I am deeply passionate about sports and sustainability, and I strongly believe in its mission and culture. I could not be more excited to join the team and contribute to its journey forward.”

2026 RTIH Innovation Awards

Sustainability will be a key focus area at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards will open for entries in April. They celebrate global retail technology innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our winners will be revealed at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards Ceremony, taking place at The HAC in Central London on Thursday, 15th October.

Check out our 2025 winners here.

Our 2025 hall of fame entrants were revealed during a sold out event which took place at The HAC on 16th October and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by award winning comedian, actress and writer Tiff Stevenson.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “This is the awards’ fifth year as a physical event. We started off with just 30 people at the South Place Hotel not far from here, then moved to London Bridge Hotel, then The Barbican, and last year RIBA’s HQ in the West End.”

“But I’m conscious of the fact that, to quote the legend that is Taylor Swift, You’re only as hot as your last hit, baby. So, this year we’ve moved to our biggest venue yet, and also pulled in our largest number of entries to date and broken attendance records.”

He added: “This year’s submissions have without doubt been our best yet. To quote one of the judges: The examples of innovative developments across both traditional and digital retail spaces were truly remarkable.”

Congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Tiff Stevenson, and all those who attended our 2025 gathering.
