Delivery Hero Appoints John Woyton to Supervisory Board, Signaling Strategic Shift

Delivery Hero, the world's leading local delivery platform, has appointed John Woyton to its Supervisory Board, effective September 9, 2026. Woyton succeeds Scott Ferguson, who stepped down to focus on other commitments. The appointment is significant because Woyton brings over two decades of private equity and M&A experience across technology, media, and telecommunications (TMT), areas critical to Delivery Hero's future as it seeks to maintain its global leadership and explore new growth avenues.

Woyton's career includes roles at The Carlyle Group and Advent International, where he led the TMT sector team for nearly 12 years. More recently, he served as Managing Director at H.I.G. Capital and co-founded Covalent Equity Partners, a technology-focused private equity firm supporting businesses in the AI era. His expertise in investments, buyouts, and strategic transactions will be invaluable as Delivery Hero continues to innovate in quick commerce and expand its platform across approximately 65 countries.

Kristin Skogen Lund, Chair of the Supervisory Board, commented, "We're delighted to welcome John Woyton to the Supervisory Board. His extensive experience investing in and supporting technology businesses through periods of transformation will bring valuable perspective to the Board as Delivery Hero enters its next chapter." This highlights the board's confidence in Woyton's ability to guide the company through industry shifts.

The appointment also underscores Delivery Hero's commitment to strong governance. Woyton will take over Ferguson's seats on the Audit and Strategy Committees, ensuring continuity in oversight. His dual US and British nationality may also provide diverse perspectives in a global market.

Woyton added, "Few companies have built the global scale and reach that Delivery Hero has achieved in little over a decade. It operates in a sector that continues to evolve rapidly, with significant opportunities ahead. I'm looking forward to bringing my experience across technology, investment and M&A to the Supervisory Board, and working together on what comes next."

This strategic appointment matters because Delivery Hero operates in a highly competitive and dynamic sector where technological innovation and strategic investments are key to success. Woyton's background in private equity and technology will help the company identify and capitalize on emerging opportunities, such as AI-driven logistics and quick commerce. As Delivery Hero aims to bring groceries and household goods to customers in under an hour, Woyton's guidance could be instrumental in scaling these initiatives and driving profitability.
