As for the arrival of Jane Ewing, a senior executive at Walmart kuwait whatsapp number data 5 million , on the one hand, it heralds Sam's move towards a mature stage of high-quality operations; on the other hand, as Walmart pays more and more attention to the Chinese market, Sam's will have to strengthen its overall operational efficiency and level in China while "moving faster", including reducing costs and improving efficiency through efficient supply chain management, providing differentiated high-quality goods and highly competitive prices, and carrying out refined operations in dimensions such as site selection planning and food safety.
A person close to Sam's Club told Retail Business Finance: Sam's Club employees do not need to be responsible for sales at all. After all, the brand's self-propagation capabilities are strong enough. But because of this, any food safety issues will be infinitely magnified.
Among them, recent incidents such as suspected teeth found in Sam's fresh meat mooncakes, worm eggs found on milk cartons, "yin-yang labels" on marinated platters, and fat beef slices that turned out to be "fat slices" when ordered for takeout have attracted widespread attention. Although some consumers attribute the series of food safety risks exposed by Sam's to "a tall tree attracts the wind", this cannot cover up the fact that Sam's has problems with quality control and food safety supervision.
Therefore, Sam's Club, which has already established itself in terms of scale, is re-evaluating the nature of "consumption" and pursuing the optimal balance between quality, value and convenience. Its future focus will still be on supply chain construction, which is what Jane Ewing emphasized when she came to China four months ago: "Supply chain is Sam's core advantage."
Citing sources from Walmart, Jane joined Walmart in 2012. Looking through her resume, she has served as Chief Human Resources Officer of Walmart International since 2017 and was transferred to Walmart's Senior Vice President of Global Sustainability in 2020. In January 2024, Jane Ewing returned to Walmart International as Senior Vice President of Operations, in charge of operations, supply chain, real estate and other departments.
Jane Ewing, who has worked in the international department for many years, has a deep understanding of the Chinese business and team, and has provided a lot of support to the Chinese business, including Walmart's transformation and Sam's Club's business expansion.
