Walmart U.S. Leadership Shake-Up | Business and Finance News

Walmart’s U.S. leadership is undergoing a major shakeup as veteran COO Kieran Shanahan steps down after nearly 30 years to become an advisor until early 2027, making way for Kyle Kinnard — currently leading Walmart International — to take the reins. Kinnard, who also began his Walmart career at Sam’s Club, will now steer U.S. operations as part of CEO John Furner’s broader leadership overhaul. Meanwhile, Juan Galarraga steps into the spotlight to lead Walmart’s Latin American operations. These changes follow recent departures including Sam’s Club COO Tom Ward and store ops head Cedric Clark, whose role remains unfilled. Under Furner, Walmart is aggressively expanding its e-commerce and delivery offerings to attract higher-end shoppers, while also adjusting prices and cutting 1,000 jobs this summer.
