View profile for Suresh Kumar

Global Chief Technology Officer and Chief Development Officer at Walmart

It’s exciting that Walmart is entering the third phase of our tech journey – infusing AI and agents across our business. We’re at a point where technology can dramatically transform experiences for our customers, members, associates and partners. Being people-led and tech-powered isn’t just about enabling today, it’s about creating a future of retail that fundamentally improves all user experiences.   Looking forward to the partnership as we further our strategy of AI and agentic systems and platform-enabled operations at scale.

Today we announced the creation of two new leadership roles with the goal of accelerating innovation across Walmart - moving smarter and faster, putting AI and world class product management and design at the center of everything we do. This window of opportunity to apply artificial intelligence and become even more tech-powered, while still being people-led, is unique. I’m excited to welcome Daniel Danker to Walmart as EVP, AI Acceleration, Product and Design. In this new global role Daniel will accelerate our AI transformation and lead all product management and design across the enterprise. In addition, we’re also creating a new EVP, AI Platforms role reporting to Suresh Kumar. This visionary role will help us build the future with AI, increase productivity, speed and innovation, own the AI platforms, and architect our intelligent systems stack to power our future. Artificial intelligences is changing how we work. I look forward to working with Daniel and seeing how these changes strengthen our business and improve experiences for our customers, members and fellow associates.

Being “people-led” only works if the people still get to lead.
