In May 1991, Haub was named vice president of development and Strategic Planning for the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company.[3] Two years later, he was elected president and chief operating officer of the company.[4] In April 1997, he assumed the role of co-Chief Executive Officer, and was named president and CEO in May 1998.[3]

In 2000, Haub, alongside his brother, was named co-CEO of the Tengelmann Group.[5][6] Following an announcement stating that his brother had been missing and was presumed deceased, Haub was named the sole CEO of the company.[5]

In 2011, Haub founded Emil Capital Partners, serving as the chairman and president of the group.[2]

As of August 2021, Haub has an estimated net worth of US$2.9 billion.[7]

In 2015, Haub and his wife, Liliane, were awarded the James F. Cleary '50, H'93 Masters Award from Boston College for helping to "engage a growing network of current-student parents with BC" and spreading "the message of BC's increasing reputation for excellence".[17]
