Lidl GB has appointed Roberto Eretta as chief operating officer to replace Maciej Tylkowski.
Currently COO at Lidl Italy, Eretta will join the GB board when Tylkowski moves to an international position in the business in May.
Eretta has been with Lidl for almost 20 years and has previously worked as human resources director before taking the COO role in Italy in 2020.
“Since beginning my career almost two decades ago as an area manager in Lidl Italy, I’ve been passionate about sales and providing our customers with outstanding service,” he said.
“I’m excited to join the team in GB and share my love for offering the best possible experience while delivering quality and affordability at the same time.”
Tylkowski has worked at Lidl for over 25 years, serving as an executive board member at Lidl Poland for 17. He joined the retailer as a store assistant after attending university, before rising to senior management positions. In 2001, Tylkowski moved back to Poland, where he played a leading role in opening the first Lidl stores in his home country. He joined Lidl GB as COO in 2023, taking on responsibility for sales, logistics and supply chain.
Eretta added: “Maciej has done incredible work at Lidl GB, implementing strategies and innovations to enhance the in-store experience and strengthen the competitive position.”
