Carrefour Romania announces a new addition to its Executive Committee. Starting June 1, Gabriela Stănică, Chief Information Officer, Digital & AI, will join the leadership team, further strengthening the company’s strategic direction in technology, digitalization, and artificial intelligence.
With a career spanning over 20 years in IT, Gabriela Stănică joined Carrefour Romania in October 2020, where she has been responsible for the company’s digital transformation, IT infrastructure modernization, and innovation initiatives. Under her leadership, Carrefour accelerated automation processes in stores and back-office, optimized the supply chain, and launched a major cloud migration. She has also played a key role in integrating the Cora network into the Carrefour ecosystem by aligning infrastructure and digital systems.
“I’m honored to take on this new challenge at Carrefour Romania and to continue, alongside my team, the company’s extensive digital transformation—now with an even stronger focus on AI. I firmly believe that technology, data, and artificial intelligence are not just tools, but catalysts for a smarter, more personalized retail experience that’s better aligned with the real needs of our customers and colleagues. As part of Carrefour’s strategy, my main goal is to continue building a strong digital retail company that consistently brings meaningful innovations to the market,” said Gabriela Stănică, Chief Information Officer, Digital & AI, and member of the Executive Committee of Carrefour Romania.
In her new role, Gabriela Stănică will lead AI-related initiatives, contributing to the development and integration of digital solutions across Carrefour Romania. AI is a strategic priority for the Carrefour Group and is already being used in Romania to analyze consumer behavior, optimize product assortment, and personalize experiences within the Act for Good loyalty program. The company is testing AI applications across various areas to anticipate consumer needs and adapt to market realities.
