Gabriel Straub
Chief Data Officer
Ocado
As Chief Data Officer, my core mission is to deliver data and AI innovations that solve complex problems in the online grocery space. To do this, I drive the company’s data strategy and ensure the data science team is equipped with the right tools, processes and culture to succeed.
Today, my team oversees 100+ AI use cases that enhance our processes and create value for our retail partners and their customers.
AI and data are critical to our success. Traditional ecommerce and logistics approaches don't meet the unique challenges of online grocery—managing perishables, ensuring timely deliveries, and meeting customer expectations. To address this, we've built an end-to-end platform that includes AI-driven stock forecasting, automated fulfillment centres, delivery optimisation and personalised shopping experiences.
With volumes of data flowing end to end, we have the unique opportunity to use AI to create optimisations and automations that would otherwise not be possible.
