Ahold Delhaize USA announced Sanja Krajnovic, EVP, ADUSA Distribution and ADUSA Transportation, has been named Chief Supply Chain Officer.
“Given the scope of her role leading one of the largest supply chains on the East Coast, with more than 20 distribution centers and an expansive transportation network, it is important to have Sanja and her teams represented within our U.S. leadership group,” said JJ Fleeman, CEO of Ahold Delhaize USA, in a recent press release. “Sanja has helped further solidify our self-distribution model as a competitive edge in the markets where the U.S. brands operate, with nearly 90% of our network now self-distributed. I’m confident she will continue to add value in this role, applying a strategic approach to supply chain management and partnering with each of the brands to advance their local brand strategies and growth.”
Krajnovic joined ADUSA Distribution in August 2022. Since then, she has continued the transformation of the supply chain into an integrated self-distribution model, enhancing operations, driving increased efficiency and savings and improving safety performance, retention and culture.
Through these efforts, both ADUSA Distribution and ADUSA Transportation were recently named as 2025 Top Employers in the U.S. by the Top Employer Index.
“Over the past several years we have been laser focused on improving not only our capabilities and maturity in the supply chain, but building a culture where people want to come and grow careers and being an employer of choice. People are at the center of our business, and I look forward to continuing to work with our supply chain teams and each of our brands to deliver excellence and growth.”
Prior to joining ADUSA Distribution, Krajnovic served as Senior Vice President of Store Operations at Dollar General, where she oversaw 9,300 locations across the U.S. Before that, she spent 25 years with Target Corporation, most recently as Group Vice President, Global Supply Chain and Logistics. In various roles at Target, she directed multi-site functions across retail operations, food, global supply chain and logistics, and led numerous strategic initiatives and transformations.
