Sam’s Club president and CEO is now a Black woman: Latriece Watkins. Recently, Watkins, who served on Walmart’s C-suite for years, was promoted to oversee the membership club retailer.
“What I love about Walmart is simple—it’s a place where people matter and opportunity lives. It’s a company built on serving others and creating impact in communities every single day,” she said in a LinkedIn post. “What’s special about Sam’s Club is the pride the associates take in serving members, the focus on value and quality, and the way teams show up for each other. There’s undeniable momentum here, and I’m honored to lead the next chapter by protecting and amplifying our culture, fully leveraging the power of our company, and winning omnichannel retail together and with intention. I look forward to what we’ll accomplish together.” Read more at www.thegrio.com.
