Asda has appointed Cal Corcoran as group chief information officer, strengthening its senior leadership team.
Corcoran will join the business on 5 January 2026 and will lead Asda’s technology and data teams.
His appointment comes as the retailer focuses on optimising its systems after completing its separation programme from Walmart.
He brings more than 25 years of IT leadership experience across a range of sectors, including technology, financial services, aviation, energy, telecommunications and aerospace and defence.
Corcoran has previously held senior technology roles at companies including Microsoft, Barclays, Gatwick Airport, BP and Castrol.
Allan Leighton, executive chairman of Asda, said: “Our use of data and technology is a critical element of our business that enables us to show up for our customers in the ways they expect.
“I’m delighted that Cal is joining the senior leadership team as we double down on our formula for growth as we head into 2026, and I look forward to welcoming Cal to the business next week.”
