Walmart Inc. has hired Matt Miner to lead its global compliance program.
As executive vice president and global chief ethics and compliance officer, Miner will report to Rachel Brand, Walmart's chief legal officer and executive vice president of global governance.
Miner arrives at Walmart from the Washington, D.C., office of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, where he was a partner and led the firm's white-collar litigation and government investigation practice.
Miner brings experience managing investigations involving alleged corporate misconduct, including matters related to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, according to his biography on the law firm's website.
He also has served as a deputy assistant attorney general in the Department of Justice's Criminal Division.
Walmart paid a $282.7 million settlement in 2019 to end a federal investigation into the retailer's compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The investigation was led by the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
