Sam Walton said, "Individuals don’t win. Teams do." That statement couldn't ring truer after finishing back-to-back kickoff events for the year ahead: Our Year Beginning Meeting and Sales Summit, where we gathered to learn, grow, and strategize on how we will #WinItTogether in the coming year. Last week's Sales Summit included insightful presentations, inspiring case studies, engaging workshops on key topics like #CTV, and interactive breakouts for key categories and workstreams. Ryan Mayward reminded us we're #morethanmedia as we help marketers solve their biggest challenges, while Jeff Clark declared #ItsOurTime. Who's fired up and ready to go for 2025??

Hellllllo network! This week we rallied the team and kicked off the year with our Walmart Connect Sales Summit in sunny Orlando. It was an amazing opportunity to listen, learn and get ready for a big year ahead. We’ve got audacious goals, and I am so proud to say that I work alongside the team that is building the future of #retailmedia #ItsOurTime #WinItTogether #walmart Ryan Mayward Doug Jossem Lara Barmish Diana Finster Kyle McWhirter Brett Wein Mark Tannen Jeff Clark Chiara Milioulis

It's time for my annual LinkedIn post, which means it's time to celebrate another unforgettable kickoff for Walmart Connect. I'm so proud—proud of this event and what it represents, proud of the inspiring speakers, proud of the associates who came together to celebrate our achievements and ignite the spark for the year ahead. But most of all, I'm proud of the team that spent the last 11 months bringing this vision to life. I can confidently say this was our best yet, and I can't wait to see what's next. #WinItTogether

Feeling inspired to begin our new fiscal year after spending a few days in Orlando for the Walmart Connect Sales Summit. I learned so much from internal and external speakers and enjoyed sharing the stage with Mohit Puthuraya to share how the Walmart Marketplace will drive growth for our clients and our advertising business. I left feeling proud and inspired to work with such an amazing group of associates and partners from all over the world.

Last week was our first Morning Meeting in Sam Walton Hall at our new Home Office. It was a real treat to have John Huey, the co-author of Sam Walton’s autobiography, with us. John has a unique perspective on our history, having documented and preserved a core element of our culture. I was especially glad to hear that since his last visit, despite the many changes to the ways we serve our customers, it’s clear that our purpose, values and culture are timeless. One of the biggest reasons that remains true is our long-term associates. We had 61 join us at the Morning Meeting, with a combined 1,530 years of experience. Thank you. I appreciate you all!
