UK: Tesco appoints former Airbus exec as new CTO

Tesco has announced the appointment of Guus Dekkers as Chief Technology Officer, following the retirement of Edmond Mesrobian from Tesco.

Guus Dekkers brings extensive experience of driving large scale technology transformations to Tesco, following an international career in advanced information technologies at Volkswagen, Johnson Controls Automotive Group, Siemens, Continental AG and most recently as Chief Information Officer at Airbus.

“I hope that my experience in large scale IT transformations, advanced information technologies, business process optimisations and digital innovations will allow me to support Tesco in translating rapidly evolving technological and digital capabilities into innovative solutions, helping us to serve our customers a little better every day,” says Guus Dekkers.

Deckers will build on the work Edmond Mesrobian has led over the last three years to strengthen Tesco’s technological capability.

Tesco owns one of the biggest supermarket chains in the UK and over 500 petrol stations.
