Walmart Inc.'s health and wellness chief, who led several health care initiatives, is leaving the company, Walmart confirmed Friday.
Sean Slovenski, president of Walmart U.S. health and wellness, and John Furner, chief executive of Walmart U.S., have discussed the move for several weeks, Furner said in a memo to staff. Furner did not indicate when Slovenski would exit.
More information about Slovenski's replacement will be released in the coming weeks, Furner said.
Since joining the Bentonville-based retailer on Aug. 1, 2018, Furner said, Slovenski has helped create an organization within Walmart that developed its Walmart Health centers.
Furner said Slovenski's team also led the deployment this year of drive-thru covid-19 testing sites at Walmart store parking lots across the country.
"We will miss Sean, but we are excited to continue building and expanding on what he created at Walmart," Furner said.
