HBCU GRAD NAMED “FIRST BLACK FEMALE” CEO AT SAM’S CLUB
(blackmediaSCOOP) We’re giving a big BMS shout out to Rosalind Brewer! Wal-Mart Stores named Brewer president and chief executive of its Sam’s Club warehouse retail chain, marking the FIRST time that the world’s largest retailer will have a woman and an African-American leading one of its three business units. Hot diggity!
49 year old Brewer, will replace Brian Cornell on February 1 at the start of the company’s fiscal year, Wal-Mart said. Brewer, a Spelman College graduate, joined Wal-Mart as a regional vice president in 2006 and went on to head its U.S. East Coast operations, where she oversaw more than $100 million in revenue a year, more than 500,000 employees, and nearly 1,600 stores. She’ll oversee Sam’s Club’s 610 stores, which brought in $49 billion last year.
Wal-Mart also promoted two other women on Friday, naming Gisel Ruiz to the role of Walmart U.S. chief operating officer and Karenann Terrell as chief information officer.
The appointments come after Wal-Mart last year won a historic U.S. Supreme Court decision when the court rejected a nationwide class-action lawsuit brought by women who alleged that they were denied raises and promotions because of their gender. Some are regrouping to file smaller lawsuits.
What do you think? Good look?
