Walmart hired Rina Hurst as vice president of Walmart GoLocal, a delivery service platform for businesses looking to offer local delivery to their customers. She joined the company from Shipt, where she was its chief business officer.
At Shipt, Hurst was responsible for strategic retail, brand and innovation partnerships and played an instrumental role in optimizing order volume, expanding the company’s delivery footprint, and bringing hundreds of retailers to the company’s marketplace and last-mile services. Before Shipt, Hurst spent ten years at Target in various roles across merchandising and business partnerships. Hurst began her career in management consulting.
As vice president of Walmart GoLocal, Hurst is responsible for the service’s direction, operations and general management.
It has grown to serve third-party retailers across over a dozen industries in two years, delivering to over 18,000 U.S. zip codes. Hurst will focus on further scaling the business and expanding the service’s capabilities.
“Rina brings extensive last-mile and delivery expertise and a track record of building strategic partnerships and accelerating growth. I’m thrilled to welcome Rina to the Walmart team and see the impact she will have on Walmart GoLocal as we grow and optimize our capabilities for our clients,” said Jennifer McKeehan, senior vice president of end-to-end delivery at Walmart U.S. “Rina’s expertise in retail delivery will be a strong complement to the team as we continue to innovate and expand how we serve leading retailers with delivery.”
