CARLISLE, Pa. — An Ahold USA executive has received honors from a New England business publication.



Ahold USA announced Tuesday that EVP and CFO Paula Price was named 2012 CFO of the Year in the public company category by the Boston Business Journal and was honored at the newspaper's annual luncheon last Wednesday. Ahold USA, a subsidiary of Netherlands-based Royal Ahold, operates the Stop & Shop, Giant-Landover and Giant-Carlisle supermarket chains and the Peapod online grocery service.



"Paula is a pioneer of the grocery retail industry, using her extensive experience and knowledge of finance to assist our company in continuing to streamline operations and process," Ahold USA COO Carl Schlicker said. "Her broad skill set and professionalism have inspired confidence and earned her great respect here within Ahold USA. I can't think of a CFO more deserving of this honor."
