Ocado Group's board and its chief executive, Tim Steiner, are engaged in long-term succession planning for the CEO role and are in discussions with potential candidates. This confirmation comes after recent speculation regarding leadership changes at the British technology firm.
Sky News reported on Sunday that Niklas Heuveldop, who is the chief executive of Vonage (a subsidiary of Ericsson), was approached for the position. However, Reuters has not independently verified this report, and both Ocado Group and Vonage declined to comment on the matter.
Tim Steiner co-founded Ocado in 2000 with two former Goldman Sachs colleagues and has served as its executive director since its inception. The company's 2025 Annual Report emphasizes a continued focus on executive succession and board planning to ensure strategic stability.
