Jef Colruyt announced yesterday that he would step aside as CEO of Colruyt Group after almost 30 years. The end of an era. We quickly spoke to the modest pater familias of the country’s largest retail empire, before he retreats again to the lee and to his mobile home. Twelve questions about the past, present and future of Colruyt, both the company and people. “Of course it is cleaner to stop at the top. But now that we are coming out of a dip, the next team can go for the polka dot jersey again.”
