Louise Bagshaw departs Asda for Amazon Fresh stores role
Louise Bagshaw has started a new Central Operations position at Amazon Fresh Stores International.
She joins from Asda, where, over 14+ years, she held such roles as Senior Director Retail Front End & Innovation, and Senior Director - Separation Programme (Future).
In a LinkedIn post last week, Bagshaw said: “After 14 years, today is my last official day as an Asda colleague. The breadth of opportunities given to me has been fantastic.”
“There aren’t many organisations where you can undertake roles in Property, Technology, Retail Operations and Transformation.”
“The experience, leadership development and apprenticeship degree has led to my next very exciting organisation and role. Thanks to all those who have supported me over the years.”
