Ocado appoints Gavin Patterson as non-executive director

Ocado Group has announced that Gavin Patterson will join its board as a non-executive director from 1 June.

Patterson was chief executive of BT from 2013 to 2019 and later became chief revenue officer and then chief strategy officer at Salesforce.

At Ocado, he will also be a member of the people and remuneration committees. The company will be looking to benefit from his expertise in leading large multinational organisations, as well as his experience of working in the global marketplace for platform services.

Tim Steiner, chief executive of Ocado, said: “Over the past decade we have evolved from being an innovative online grocer in the UK to a global technology business, powering online operations for some of the world’s leading grocery retailers.

“We are also now deploying our unique technology into new sectors and opportunities for the first time.

“At this important moment, Gavin’s considerable experience at the helm of multinational B2B technology companies will be a valuable asset to our board and leadership team.”

Rick Haythornthwaite, chairman of Ocado, added: “I am delighted to welcome Gavin to the Ocado board. He brings valuable perspective and multinational leadership experience to our board at an exciting time in Ocado’s development.”
