Walmart Inc. chief merchant Steve Bratspies is leaving the
company as the country's largest retailer shakes up its executive
ranks following the crucial holiday season.
Mr. Bratspies has been the company's chief merchandising officer
for more than four years, a key role that oversees product
selection and pricing in its U.S. stores, according to people
familiar with the matter and an internal memo to staff.
He will be replaced by Scott McCall, another company veteran,
who recently has overseen the company's U.S. entertainment and toys
business, according to the people and memo.
The retailer also named Dacona Smith as chief operating officer
for the Walmart U.S. unit, according to the memo, filling a role
that had been vacant since the former COO Judith McKenna became
head of Walmart's international division in 2018. Mr. Smith has
worked for Walmart for 30 year, the memo said, most recently as COO
of the company's Sam's Club chain.
