Niklas Östberg, the chief executive officer of Delivery Hero SE, is set to step down following pressure from an activist investor that has increased its stake in the German food delivery company. Bloomberg reports that Östberg will resign after the activist raised its holdings and called for him to leave. The Financial Times adds that the founder is expected to exit the company by next March, framing the move as part of the broader activist campaign. While the articles agree on the leadership change and the activist’s role in prompting it, they do not provide details in the excerpts on the activist investor’s identity, the size of the increased stake, or the specific demands beyond Östberg’s departure. The announcements indicate a planned transition in leadership rather than an immediate resignation, with timing that points to a departure by the end of the first quarter of the following year. No successor is named in the provided excerpts.
