After 25 years at the helm of Thuisbezorgd.nl and later the Just Eat Takeaway group, Jitse Groen has announced his departure.

He will be succeeded by Roberto Gandolfo as of 1 January 2026.

Gandolfo is currently chair of the supervisory board at JET and head of Prosus Europe. Until last summer, he spent over nine years as a senior executive at iFood, the Brazilian equivalent of Thuisbezorgd.

The new CEO was neatly parked at Prosus’ head office in Amsterdam last summer, ready to take over Jitse Groen’s role.

In February 2025 Prosus made an offer for the parent company of Thuisbezorgd.nl, which also has its head office in Amsterdam. The process was completed in early October.

Prosus boss Fabricio Bloisi says in a press release: “Now that JET is entering this next phase under Prosus ownership, our focus is on execution and delivery to customers and partners. We will quickly transform JET by focusing on product, customer and innovation.”

The meal delivery group has sixty million customers, 362,000 affiliated businesses and in 2024 processed 653 million orders with a gross value of 19 billion euros.

In that same press release, there is not a single comment from Jitse Groen himself.
