Former Ocado exec and Rohlik Group CFO Vineta Bajaj added to RTIH AI in Retail Awards judging panel

We’re hugely pleased to announce the addition of Vineta Bajaj, CFO at Rohlik Group, to the RTIH AI in Retail Awards judging panel.

This January marked two years since Bajaj joined European e-grocery retailer Rohlik Group. Her appointment followed a ten-year stint at Ocado Group.

During her tenure, she helped to transition the Ocado business from a pureplay retailer to a technology business licensing grocery technology and fulfilment globally. She also raised significant capital, led strategic M&A and supported the company’s international expansion.

Bajaj has major strategic and commercial experience in retail, tech and warehouse automation environments within large public companies.

She also features in the RTIH Top 100 Retail Technology Influencers List.

As we witness a digital transformation revolution across all channels, AI tools are reshaping the omnichannel game, from personalising customer experiences to optimising inventory, uncovering insights into consumer behaviour, and enhancing the human element of retailers' businesses.

With 2025 set to be the year when AI and especially gen AI shake off the ‘heavily hyped’ tag and become embedded in retail business processes, our newly launched awards celebrate global technology innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world and the resulting benefits for retailers, shoppers and employees.

Our 2025 winners will be those companies who not only recognise the potential of AI, but also make it usable in everyday work - resulting in more efficiency and innovation in all areas.

Winners will be announced at an evening event at The Barbican in Central London on Wednesday, 3rd September.

This will kick off with a drinks reception in the stunning Conservatory, followed by a three course meal, and awards ceremony in the Garden Room.
