NEW YORK, NY, January 20 Reuters -- Walmart's WMT.N top e-commerce executive Casey Carl is leaving the company at the end of February after nearly two years, the company said in an internal memo.
Carl will be replaced by Tom Ward, Walmart's senior vice president of last mile deliveries. Carl is the latest executive to leave the company. Scott McCall, Walmart's chief merchandising officer, announced his retirement last week, and was replaced by grocery chief Charles Redfield. In late November, Walmart's former chief financial officer, Brett Biggs, left the company.
Carl, the Chief Omni Strategy and eCommerce Officer, led Walmart's omnichannel, e-commerce efforts, which include grocery delivery, Walmart marketplace and the incubation arm of Walmart, Store N 8.
Casey has been a passionate advocate for our sellers and has led the work to define and implement our seller value proposition, which has led to strong growth in our third-party Marketplace and Walmart Fulfillment Services, according to Walmart U.S. Chief Executive John Furner. Casey has contributed to Walmart U.S. business. The incubator will be under the direction of Jennifer Jackson, senior vice president of enterprise strategy, M&A and strategic partnerships.
Carl is a 20-year Target TGT.N veteran. During his time at the big box retailer, he led Target's innovation strategy to create new business models and platforms. Walmart has been a major focus on e-commerce. The company announced earlier this month it would expand its e-commerce offering with InHome, a grocery delivery service that lets drivers enter customers' homes.
