Meet our leadership team

Hannah Gibson

CEO

Hi, I’m Hannah. I’m the CEO of Ocado Retail and I’m thrilled to be leading this incredible business.

I’ve spent more than 10 years at Ocado in a range of senior customer, commercial and technology positions – most recently, as Chief Product Officer for Ocado Technology. Before the launch of Ocado Retail, I held a number of roles on the Ocado Leadership team, including as Head of Ocado Zoom and Head of Product & Merchandising.

Favourite thing about shopping at Ocado: I love to cook for my family and friends so for me it’s the range of products that we offer – I like to experiment with different foods so I’m always able to find something new to try.

Mathew Ankers

Chief Financial Officer

Hi, I’m Mat. I joined Ocado in September 2023 and lead finance, operations and insight for the business.

Life Before Ocado: I’ve spent the last 8 years of my professional life at Pepco Group N.V. a high growth, publicly listed discount retailer with stores across Europe in a variety of finance, strategy and transformation roles. Prior to Pepco Group I held finance roles with French Connection and Telefonica. I’ve been fortunate that across my career I’ve been able to live and work across Europe doing stints in Madrid, Marseille and Poznan.

Favourite thing about shopping at Ocado: As a busy household, I love the convenience and service of our offer. The instant shop feature makes sure we don’t forget the basics for our boys’ lunches and the inspiration from the recipes make it incredibly easy to make something new either as a family or as a couple.

Jonathan Wiseman

General Counsel & Chief People Officer

Hi, I’m Jonathan. I’m the General Counsel and Chief People Officer at Ocado Retail with responsibility for our Legal, People and Sustainability functions. My Ocado adventure started in 2013 in the legal team at Ocado Group, for the last three years as Deputy General Counsel, primarily responsible for Ocado Solutions.

Life before Ocado: I worked at Slaughter and May for nine years practising corporate law.

Favourite thing about shopping at Ocado: Where to start? Sparing my kids the drudgery of being dragged around a supermarket is enough in itself, but add to that the amazing and ever-expanding range, lovely drivers and incredible service and I’m pretty hooked!

Dan Elton

Chief Customer Officer

Hi, I’m Dan. I’m Chief Customer Officer at Ocado Retail.

Life before Ocado: I’m an experienced customer and commercial leader, having worked in a variety of roles across retail, tech and e-commerce. Most recently, I was Executive Vice President of Customer at ASOS and before that Chief Customer Officer at Made.com. Prior to that, I spent a number of years at Google, Argos, Sainsbury’s and Tesco in a variety of marketing and strategy roles. I started my career as a management consultant and am a chartered management accountant.

Favourite thing about shopping at Ocado: What I love most about shopping at Ocado is the unsurpassed convenience offered by our shopping experience and delivery teams, combined with a seemingly limitless range. I love discovering new products, and the fact that I can buy my favourite M&S products alongside some of the best independent producers, such as Natoora and Brindisa. All of this is made the more magical because I know I can always get a delivery at a convenient time for me.

George Dean

Chief Commercial Officer

Hi, I’m George. I’m the Chief Commercial Officer at Ocado Retail leading the buying, product, sustainability and commercial development (strategy and support) teams.

I joined Ocado in 2019, helping to launch and then grow our rapid delivery business, Zoom by Ocado, before becoming Commercial Development Director in 2023. I started my career as a consultant at Bain & Co before moving into the grocery sector with Morrisons. I then spent three years in various commercial and marketing roles at International Workplace Group before I joined Ocado.

Favourite thing about Ocado: Having grown up on a farm my favourite thing is our expanding range of fantastic British produce across brands, M&S and Ocado Own Range. Living in London I also love the convenience of getting a Zoom delivery within an hour.
