About

With over a decade’s tenure at international supermarket giant Tesco, Central Europe legal director Lucie Kovacova knows the company’s sprawling operations inside out. Beginning her career with Tesco as a senior team leader in Tesco Czech Republic in early 2006, Kovacova had moved into an international role by late 2010 and became deputy legal director for the Czech branch by 2012. Since then, she took charge of legal support for product distribution and supply chain before taking on the top legal job for Central Europe early this year. Her thorough understanding of the company’s supply chain gained through these various roles makes her the ideal person to ensure strict regulatory compliance and smooth delivery of the huge range of products that allow Tesco to occupy the privileged position it does in the international market.
