Food waste app Gander has appointed Damien Corcoran as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO).
Corcoran joins Gander with a wealth of retail and hospitality knowledge from his C-suite roles in the Middle East, Whole Foods Market, Sainsbury’s, and Aldi.
He also spent six years as a Commissioned Officer with the Royal Corps of Signals, leading and managing global communication programmes.
Corcoran said: “Collaborating closely with our global technology teams, I will ensure that our innovations will not only drive efficiency but will also advance our commitment to sustainability. This will enable more people to access perfectly good food, pay less for that food, and prevent it from going to waste. In doing so, businesses will minimise their losses and gain more customers, whilst doing their bit to save the planet.”
Mike Osborne, Chief Executive of Gander, added: “I am delighted Damien has joined our global team. With all his skills and experience, he is someone who can take the business to the next level.
“Our commitment is to make a positive change in the global fight against food waste, the potential is unlimited and as COO I have no doubt that Damien will lead the charge in retail technology and help revolutionise the food ecosystem.”
