“I’m thrilled to be joining the Walmart Canada team,” said Yates. “The Canadian business, with its 100,000 associates and impressive 30-year history, has always been a source of pride. We’re currently in growth mode and I’m excited about our future.”

The company also announced that Gonzalo Gebara, the current Walmart Canada President and CEO, will step down at the end of February after an illustrious 25-year career with Walmart to return to Argentina to be with his family and explore new opportunities.

During his tenure at Walmart Canada, Gebara played a pivotal role in accelerating the company’s transformation towards becoming Canada’s leading omnichannel retailer.

“I want to personally thank Gonzalo and his family for their 25 years of service,” said Loureiro.
