Mac Naughton returns to familiar territory

Walmart chief merchandising officer Duncan Mac Naughton was back in Canada earlier this week at the CIBC World Markets Retail and Consumer Conference in Toronto sharing a message of improved traction and accelerating momentum.

Toronto is familiar territory for Mac Naughton as he spent one year as chief merchandising officer of Walmart Canada before joining Walmart U.S. as EVP of merchandising in the fall of 2010. While he covered a lot of familiar ground regarding strategy, key initiatives and financial performance, anytime a top Walmart executive participates in an investor conference it’s worth paying attention to what was said.
