Delivery Hero co-founder and CEO Niklas Östberg reverses his decision to step down in 2027, as the company prepares for Uber's €13B takeover and an asset sale (Financial Times)

Delivery Hero’s CEO staying on through 2027 signals leadership continuity during a pivotal restructuring period, as the company prepares for a possible €13B takeover by Uber and a related asset sale. For CIOs and technology leaders, this points to a likely wave of portfolio simplification, carve-outs, and post-deal integration work that will require careful management of core platforms, data, security, and operating-model changes. IT organizations should expect heightened pressure to deliver clean separation or integration of systems while preserving business continuity and minimizing disruption to customers and operations.
