IGD on Wednesday (8) announced the appointment of Sarah Bradbury as new CEO, effective from 3 July 2023. Sarah succeeds Susan Barratt, who is stepping down as CEO on 30 June 2023.
Sarah has more than 25 years’ experience in retail, most recently as Group Quality Director at Tesco. She is responsible across the group for delivering high-quality safe products, sustainability, agriculture and regulatory compliance, as well as working collaboratively to influence and drive change across the entire supply chain. Prior to this, Sarah held senior commercial and marketing positions at both Tesco and Aldi.
Sarah has previously co-chaired IGD’s Technical Leadership Forum, one of the organisation’s critical working groups that is helping to drive change and mobilise the food and consumer goods industry as a force for good.
Ash Amirahmadi, Chair of IGD’s Board of Trustees, said, “I am delighted that IGD has attracted such a trusted and respected industry leader as Sarah to lead the next phase of its journey. She has a deep knowledge and experience of the key challenges and opportunities facing the food and consumer goods industry and her appointment underlines the scale of IGD’s ambition to keep driving tangible change.
“I’m very much looking forward to working with Sarah in the months ahead; her dynamism, track record of developing teams and driving change through complex stakeholder management will help the IGD team to build on the strong platform that has been established under Susan’s leadership.”
Sarah Bradbury said, “As someone who is committed to making a difference, it is a privilege to be joining the IGD at this critical time for the food and grocery sector. I am really excited by the opportunity to work with the IGD team and its customers, to bring together the whole supply chain to drive change in the months and years ahead.”
