    Time to sCore: Insights from the METRO Leadership Summit
    Jan 12 2026
    This episode gives you a comprehensive overview of the recent Leadership Summit. Over three days, more than 300 executives came together at the METRO Campus in Düsseldorf to focus on a clear goal: turning strategies into measurable results. In this special edition of MORE Podcast, I guide you through the most important updates from our Management Board: from Steffen Greubel's five strategic principles that will guide us through the year, to Eric Rieggers' financial outlook and our growth targets, to Christiane Giesen's and Guillaume Deruyter's operational priorities. These range from profitability in delivery and the turnaround in the cash & carry business to tapping into the digital potential through METRO MARKETS. If you are looking for a concise summary of the key points from the Leadership Summit 2025, you can find everything here first-hand.

    "Our goal is to make AI part of everyone’s daily work"

    In this episode, I talk to Olaf Maecker, Vice President of AI & Automation at METRO.digital, about how artificial intelligence is evolving from a buzzword to a real business lever at METRO. Olaf explains how applications such as the Intelligent Sales Assistant support the Sales Force, how AI accelerates content production, and where new use cases are emerging in Procurement, Marketing, and Logistics. He shows how the AI Factory is creating a platform and organisation that makes AI solutions scalable – and why success depends not only on technology, but also on AI culture. A special highlight: Olaf is confronted with three surprising questions – not from me, but from the AI itself. In this unique section The AI asks Olaf a synthetic voice challenges him on topics such as ethics, data and the balance between people and AI. And as always, there is a personal Sound Souvenir at the end.

    In the second part of our double episode of our MORE Podcast, I talk to Matthias Bühler, METRO's Customer & Sales Officer, about the introduction of the Target Operating Model (TOM) and the advantages of merging business and IT. He believes that real transformation can only be achieved through collaboration between people. We also explore how a standardised CRM tool could improve processes in the sales organisation and which routine tasks could be taken over by AI in the future.
