Background

About Stefan Hofer

Seasoned executive with 30+ years of international experience in retail, supply chain, and operations—shaped by a unique path from the shop floor to global leadership. My journey began alongside a professional ice hockey career, where I learned the value of discipline, resilience, and performance under pressure—traits that continue to define my leadership style today. Having held senior roles across national, regional, and global levels within a leading multinational retailer, I bring deep expertise in end-to-end value chain management, large-scale team leadership, and customer-centric transformation. I thrive in dynamic environments that require strategic thinking, cultural change, and operational excellence. My core focus: creating lean, scalable systems that improve both customer experience and business performance. I lead with clarity, empower teams to grow, and build purpose-driven organizations ready for the next level of impact.
