Tim Steiner

Tim Steiner is the CEO of Ocado Group, a UK-based retail technology business specializing in online grocery and automation technology. He is newsworthy due to Ocado's recent announcement of a significant restructuring program involving the reduction of 1,000 jobs globally, with approximately two-thirds of these job losses affecting its UK operations. This cost-saving drive aims to cut £150 million. This announcement comes after Steiner's previous prediction during the COVID-19 pandemic that online grocery shopping would dramatically shift the retail landscape, potentially leading to the decline of traditional supermarkets. The current job cuts suggest a re-evaluation of Ocado's strategy and highlight the challenges the company faces in delivering on its potential as a leading technology provider.
