Dr. Sumit Mitra

I bring 26 years to experience in sales, strategy, organisation turnaround as CEO of Tesco Business Solutions, I lead a 5,000+ strong global team spanning five countries. My work focuses on creating a human-led, AI-powered, and value-driven organization, leveraging expertise in Finance, People Management, Property, Commercial Operations, Data Science, and Product Management. Together, we enable Tesco’s Retail, Wholesale, Mobile, and Banking businesses to achieve enterprise productivity, stronger controls, enhanced experiences, and sustainable growth. As Chairman and Founder of OmniSol since November 2025, I have been dedicated to transforming proven operational excellence into advanced, intelligent retail solutions. By combining Tesco’s deep retail expertise with innovative technologies and scalable models, we empower global retailers to enhance productivity, improve decision-making, and unlock long-term growth. My broader leadership extends to board roles at Booker Group, Trent Hypermarket, and SSON, where I contribute to shaping the future of retail and global business services.Prior to joining Tesco, I spent 16 years at BT in a series of global leadership roles spanning strategy, transformation, sales, and commercial management. I led organisation strategy and transformation, managed some of BT’s largest global contracts, and played a key role in driving growth across international markets. I then conceived, built, and scaled BT’s Global Business Services organisation from the ground up, establishing operations across nine countries and creating a high-performing organisation of more than 12,000 permanent colleagues. This transformation laid the foundations for one of the most respected GBS organisations in the industry.
