Clarity presents at World Retail Congress 2019

As sponsors of the 2019 World Retail Congress - Woman of the Year Award, Clarity were delighted to present this year’s award to Judith McKenna, CEO of Walmart International.

Fran Minogue, Founder and Managing Partner, Clarity shared “Judith is definitely the most powerful woman in retail today if not business full stop.”

Judith runs Walmart International with revenues of $120BN, 6,000 stores and 800,000 colleagues. As CEO of Walmart International, Judith is presiding over a huge transformation programme as the business shifts its focus and investment from mature to growth markets and from stores to online. Under her guidance, Walmart International continues to make strategic acquisitions and forge partnerships around the globe, leveraging its powerful supply chain, combining its significant physical presence with its increasingly sophisticated digital expertise.

As Judith herself says “Sometimes we have to build, sometimes we have to buy, sometimes we have to partner, whatever is fastest as speed is critical” in today’s world of high velocity retail.

Sometimes we have to build, sometimes we have to buy, sometimes we have to partner, whatever is fastest as speed is critical

Clarity congratulates Judith for being an outstanding role model for women in retail all over the world and a truly worthy Clarity Woman of the Year 2019.
