Ocado's founder and long-serving CEO Tim Steiner is reportedly considering succession plans after more than 25 years at the helm.
In this video, Julian Hofmann joins Mark Robinson to examine why the leadership question has resurfaced, how Ocado's ambitious automation strategy has evolved, and why the company continues to struggle to deliver consistent profits despite pioneering robotic grocery fulfilment.
We also discuss the growing threat from newer micro-fulfilment technologies, whether Ocado has become a victim of first-mover disadvantage, and what a new CEO could mean for the company's future.
