    Tim Massa, Chief Officer at Kroger: Bloom Where You're Planted

    Tim Massa is Chief Associate Experience Officer at Kroger, one of the largest employers in America with 400,000 associates across 3,000 stores. He got there after 21 years at Procter & Gamble, 18 different roles, and then 16 years at Kroger. In this conversation with Mogul CEO Tiffany Pham, Tim walks through the path to the Chief Officer seat: the mentor who planned her own succession four years out, the day he found out he'd be next, the first week on a company plane to Houston, and the March morning in 2020 when the company sent hundreds of thousands of people home without a playbook. He also describes something Kroger is doing now that few companies are: an "AI driver's license" issued to every associate, certified to their specific role, so a data scientist, a category manager and a cashier are each trained for the AI their own job actually requires. Special Quote: "Asking for help is a sign of strength. No one person has all the answers."
