Meg is responsible for Asda's marketing function and joined Asda in October 2021 as Chief Customer Officer.

She joined from KFC, where she held various marketing leadership roles, including innovation, insight and strategy, and marketing communications. Appointed as Chief Marketing Officer in 2016, Meg led a turnaround of the brand amidst unprecedented disruption to the category, transforming the total customer experience to make KFC more relevant, distinctive and easier to access.
