Asda has announced the appointment of David Lepley as its new chief supply chain officer, a newly created role it outlined last week.
Lepley joins from Morrisons, where he was previously the executive group operations director.
He previously spent over 11 years with Asda, having started at the grocer as a Christmas temp and leaving as the vice president of online grocery operations.
Lepley’s appointment follows on from a senior team reshuffle unveiled by Asda executive chair Allan Leighton last week, which saw Liz Evans take up the chief commercial officer for non-food and retail and the appointment of Ade McKeon as vice president of ambient.
On Lepley’s appointment, Leighton said: “Delivering the outstanding value and legendary service our customers demand begins with making sure they can get the products they want every time they shop with us. David has considerable experience in grocery logistics and supply chain, and I am delighted that he is coming home to Asda to lead this key area for the business.”
