Ocado Group recently announced the appointment of Stephen Daintith as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective September 23, 2024. This marks a significant leadership change at a pivotal time for the online grocery and technology company. Daintith succeeds Hannah Gibson, who was promoted to CEO of Ocado Retail, the joint venture between Ocado and Marks & Spencer.
Daintith brings a wealth of experience to the role, having served as CFO for several prominent companies across diverse sectors. Most recently, he held the CFO position at Greencore Group, a leading manufacturer of convenience foods in the UK and Ireland. Prior to Greencore, Daintith spent five years as CFO of Rolls-Royce, a global power systems company, where he navigated the company through a period of significant transformation and strategic realignment.
His earlier career includes a decade at Sage Group, a multinational enterprise software company, where he held various senior finance roles, culminating in the position of CFO. This experience provides him with a strong understanding of technology-driven businesses, a crucial asset for Ocado, which is both a retailer and a technology provider. Daintith’s background also encompasses experience at British American Tobacco, adding further breadth to his financial acumen.
The appointment of Daintith is viewed by many as a strategic move by Ocado to strengthen its financial leadership and navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Ocado has invested heavily in its Ocado Smart Platform (OSP), a robotic warehouse technology that powers its own online grocery operations and is licensed to retailers worldwide. The company is focused on expanding its OSP partnerships globally and demonstrating the profitability of its technology solutions.
Daintith’s experience in managing complex financial operations, driving efficiency, and navigating international markets will be invaluable as Ocado seeks to achieve its ambitious growth targets. He will be responsible for overseeing Ocado’s financial strategy, reporting, and investor relations. His track record of financial discipline and strategic thinking is expected to contribute to Ocado’s efforts to improve its profitability and generate sustainable shareholder value.
Commenting on his appointment, Daintith expressed his enthusiasm for joining Ocado, highlighting the company’s innovative technology and its potential to transform the grocery industry. He emphasized his commitment to working with the Ocado team to drive financial performance and deliver value to shareholders. His arrival is anticipated to provide stability and a fresh perspective as Ocado continues to execute its growth strategy in a dynamic and competitive market.
