Heineken is to appoint a former CFO of Dutch trading giant SHV Holdings to its supervisory board pending approval at its annual general meeting in April.

Henk Scheffers, SHV’s CFO from 1999 to 2007, is also a former member of its board of directors, Heineken said today (22 January). If approved, Scheffers, a chartered accountant, will join Heineken’s audit committee, the company said.

Before joining SHV as CFO, Scheffers was on the board of directors of Dutch vehicle-leasing company Leaseplan Corporation. SHV Holdings owns a number of companies, including SHV Energy and Makro cash and carry.

Heineken’s AGM will be held on 25 April.

The Dutch brewer announced last week that it is moving some of its European management staff from Austria to its HQ in Amsterdam.
