Asda CIO and digital veep set to depart
Briefly

Asda is experiencing significant changes in its technology leadership, with the impending departures of CIO Carl Dawson and VP of digital technology Rob Barnes amid Project Future's development. This restructuring follows Asda's transition away from Walmart's systems after its acquisition by new owners in 2021. Despite initial setbacks, Project Future is nearing its conclusion, prompting the company to integrate the changes into its standard operations, which necessitated staffing adjustments. Marcus Shaw will take over as CIO, while Adrian Berry will remain CTO.
The departures of both Dawson and Barnes were announced on a staff call last week, with technology director Marcus Shaw set to become CIO.
As Project Future nears completion, Asda's tech operations will integrate into the everyday operating model, prompting changes in the management structure.
