Tesco Plc U.K. chief Charles Wilson, who has been seen as a possible successor to Chief Executive Officer Dave Lewis, is stepping down after being diagnosed with throat cancer.
Wilson was diagnosed after an operation in April and has been undergoing daily radiotherapy in May and June, the company said in a statement Tuesday. Wilson will continue to run wholesaler Booker, which Tesco acquired earlier this year.
