“I have the best job in the world.” Beatriz Nuñez, Chief Growth Officer at Walmart de México y Centroamérica 💙💛 Earlier this month at the International Women's Forum World Leadershifp Conference, I got to spend time with Beatriz and talk to her about her leadership role at Walmart Mexico. I was pleasantly surprised when she declared the above statement to me. Her commitment and passion for her work is undeniable. WATCH in this video. The impact she is making in the lives of Walmart associates AND the Walmart customers is admirable. Beatriz and her team spark the future at Walmart Mexico with their PEOPLE-LED, TECH-POWERED philosophy to deliver solutions beyond retail. TWO things to note from our conversation: 1. At Walmart de México y Centroamérica last year, 55% of the promotions given within the organization went to women. It’s a remarkable number and I’m so happy she mentioned it particularly at this leadership conference centered around women. 2. The second half of our conversation includes insight about the average customer whom Beatriz and her team serve. It’s fascinating. No one has ever been so clear about the customer persona whom they are serving and why they do it using innovative technology. SHARE this #LatinasWhoLead conversation with your networks to show how Latina leaders like Beatriz make a difference in people’s lives. 💙💛 Walmart #BrandPartner #IWFDetroit23 #IWFLeadsChange #SparktheFuture #TeamWalmart #MejorContigo #latinasareleaders #walmartmexico #latinaleadership #chiefgrowthofficer #customerpersona

16 days until the launch of The Retail Leaders Roadmap. “Accountability is a prerequisite for success. Without it, your results are completely out of your hands and in the hands of everyone else. I don’t know about you, but I prefer to be in control of my own destiny. In order to have that control, I need to acknowledge that I, and only I, am responsible for everything I do.” Let’s #getupandgo together. #retail #retailmanagement #retailleadersroadmap #retailwellwisher #wellwisher #oldnavy #gapinc #pacsun #urbanoutfitters #accountability #victim RETHINK Retail YOOBIC NewStore, Inc.
