About the Person
Barry Libenson, based out of the company’s North American headquarters in Costa Mesa, Calif. Libenson joined Safeway in July 2013. In March 2014, the company agreed to merge with rival Albertsons, a combination that yielded 250,000 employees, 2,400 stores and $60 billion in revenue. “It’s a real challenge considering most of the retail industry is pretty regressive in terms of technology,” Mr. Libenson said at a Box Inc. conference in September 2014. During his brief tenure there, he oversaw Big Data analytics projects designed to comb through data acquired from the company’s loyalty program, which at the time was generating over a billion offers a day for 60 million members. He also deployed 80,000 voice-over-IP devices from Cisco Systems Inc. before exiting the grocery chain in March after assisting in the merger transition. Mr. Libenson previously worked as CIO of Land O’ Lakes Inc., where he moved service desk, human resources and business applications to the cloud.
