Asda has appointed its first Chief Digital Officer as it continues to evolve how it uses data to improve its customer offer, as part of its long-term ambition to be the UK\u2019s second largest grocery retailer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Matt Kelleher will join the supermarket in July from Morrisons, where he has held the role of Chief Information Officer. In his new role Matt will take on responsibility for Asda\u2019s data and ecommerce functions. He will also lead all Asda\u2019s technology functions once its ongoing technology transformation project \u2018Future\u2019 is complete. Matt will join Asda\u2019s existing Executive leadership team led by co-owner Mohsin Issa.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Asda has also appointed Atheeq Akbar as VP, Commercial Finance. Atheeq will join the supermarket in June, reporting to Michael Gleeson.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Asda\u2019s co-owner, Mohsin Issa, said: \u201cThis is an incredibly exciting time to be part of Asda as our business grows and develops for the benefit of our customers. Our use of data and technology transformation is a critical element of our ongoing transformation and I am delighted that we continue to attract new talent and skills as we progress this important work. I look forward to welcoming Matt and Atheeq to the Asda family.\u201d<\/p>\n
