Woolworths Group managing director B2B & Everyday Needs, Claire Peters, has resigned to take on the role of vice president world wide at Amazon Fresh. Peters will be based in Seattle and starts her new role at the beginning of 2023.
Claire joined the Group as Managing Director of Woolworths Supermarkets in 2017, subsequently taking on the role of Managing Director of B2B and Everyday Needs in 2020.
Woolworths Group CEO, Brad Banducci, said, “In her five years with Woolworths Group, Claire has played a key role in transforming Woolworths Supermarkets and building the foundations of B2B and Everyday Needs.
“As the Managing Director of Woolworths Supermarkets, Claire elevated the focus on our customers while also materially improving our retail operations. Since September 2020 Claire has helped to guide the transformation of BIG W; establish our end-to-end meat business Greenstock; and progress our partnerships including Endeavour Group, PFD and Ampol.
“The biggest imprint Claire will leave on our business is her care for team and communities, on show in the leadership role she played during the repeated waves of COVID, and her purposeful work on reconciliation with the support of the First Nations Advisory Board.”
Peters will remain with the business for the rest of the calendar year.
