An interview with Andrea Schlossarek, VP of MDM at METRO
Today, the international food wholesaler METRO operates in more than 30 countries with 625 bricks-and-mortar stores catering to professional customers, its delivery business, and digital solutions. With this multichannel approach, they support primarily small and medium-sized companies in the hospitality and trade sectors. Given this complexity, master data management is a core initiative for METRO to drive efficiency and sustainability along the entire supply chain. Leading such a complex and essential initiative requires special skills and an unparalleled passion for structure, reasoning, and challenge. Enter Andrea Schlossarek: After studying law and working in different sectors in internal audit and risk management for 15 years, she joined METRO where she took over master data management in 2015.
In this interview, we spoke about the challenges of applying a master data management programme in a highly complex environment.
