Deanah Baker, senior vice president of apparel for adults, kids, baby, and shoes, is retiring from Walmart after 32 years with the retailer, according to a report from Talkbusiness.net.
Her last day is July 31, according to an internal memo circulated by Denise Incandela, Walmart’s executive vice president of apparel, obtained by Talkbusiness.net.
Incandela said Baker has successfully delivered sales, profits and market growth in the apparel category she has managed, including successfully adding brands such as Reebok, Justice and U.S. Polo Association. She was also instrumental in orchestrating the new apparel omni structure and was an architect for the apparel store of the future.
“Deanah has been a true partner and a trusted advisor to so many of us, and I can’t thank her enough for her countless contributions to Walmart and the Apparel organization,” the memo stated.
