Walmart Inc named Jamie Iannone as its chief operating officer (COO) for US e-commerce, the latest reshuffle in its senior management ranks.
Iannone, who joined Walmart in 2014, was previously running the web, membership and marketing operations of the retailer’s wholesale subsidiary Sam’s Club, according to a memo obtained by Bloomberg News. At Sam’s Club, he spearheaded several initiatives to improve customer service and boost online sales.
In his new role, he will report to US e-commerce chief Marc Lore and to new US CEO John Furner, who worked closely with Iannone over the past few years as head of Sam’s Club.
Elevating Iannone to the new role could also position him to eventually succeed Lore as head of US e-commerce.
