Summary
Ocado co-founder and CEO Tim Steiner is stepping down after more than two decades leading one of retail's most ambitious grocery automation companies. Chris Walton is joined by Shelley Huff, CEO and Co-Founder of The Interval, and Chris Niesen, Founder of Peloton One Consulting, to discuss whether this leadership change signals trouble for automated grocery fulfillment or simply marks the next chapter in its evolution. They share their perspectives on warehouse robotics, grocery economics, and why automation still has an important role to play in retail. ▶️ Watch the full Fast Five episode here: https://youtu.be/-F7f2EFXG9k This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy
