Carrefour boss says e-commerce strategy starting to bear fruit

Carrefour boss says e-commerce strategy starting to bear fruit

Carrefour boss Alexandre Bompard on Friday told shareholders that new alliances with tech giants Google and China's Tencent showed the French retailer's e-commerce offensive was making an impact. Bompard, who took over as CEO in July 2017, said accelerating its digital commerce expansion was an "absolute" priority in the face of competition from Amazon and other online rivals. Now we have deals with Tencent and Google," Bompard told the company's annual shareholders meeting.
