Before joining Morrisons in 2011, Joanna was at PricewaterhouseCoopers for 11 years.
She said: “I'm really pleased to have been asked to be Morrisons Chief Financial Officer at such an important time in our history.
This is a great business with outstanding people and a clear purpose and I'm looking forward to starting the new role
David Potts, Morrisons chief executive, said: “Jo is a great example of the new generation of home-grown talent that is rapidly progressing at Morrisons and I’m very pleased to appoint her to such a crucial role.
“Jo is widely experienced having held a number of senior financial and strategic roles at Morrisons and in all of them has made a very significant contribution to the business.
“I look forward to welcoming her to our board and to working closely with her in the next phase of our development.”
