Mcllwee was a key player at Tesco under former boss Philip Clarke
Former Tesco chief financial officer Laurie McIlwee is returning to grocery after becoming a special adviser for global technology investor Court Cavendish.
Under the move Mcllwee, who was a key player at Tesco under former boss Philip Clarke, will become chairman of Court Cavendish-backed Red Rickshaw, the UK’s largest online Asian grocer and world food recipe box provider.
Court Cavendish, whose investments include AirBnb, online GP consultation service DocTime and mobile game creator Gaming Realms, said it was looking for experts to “supercharge” its activities in special advisory roles, with McIlwee, who spent 14 years at Tesco including as CFO, fitting the bill.
