About Craig Sanders

As a Senior Business Specialist in New Ventures at Kroger, I focus on leading enterprise eCommerce innovation initiatives, including unattended locker deployment, omnichannel pickup expansion, and automation pilots. My work involves translating pilot concepts into scalable operating models, driving alignment across multiple departments such as Finance, Legal, and Operations, and supporting capital planning and business case development for multi-million-dollar initiatives. With over a decade of experience at Kroger, including roles in eCommerce operations, merchandising, and store leadership, I have developed expertise in cross-functional team leadership, operational readiness, and capacity planning. I am passionate about scaling innovative programs that enhance customer experience, improve operational efficiency, and deliver value across stores, divisions, and enterprise-level operations.
