From Merchant to CEO — Latriece Watkins on Leading Sam’s Club
Sam’s Club CEO Latriece Watkins discusses running a $96B business, AI and tech in retail, consumer spending, and leadership lessons from her MPW debut.
Editorial companion
What stands out
Latriece Watkins spends much of the conversation describing operational choices, how Sam’s Club uses tech and AI to run a $96B business and groom leaders inside a larger retail machine. The most striking element is the concrete scale she invokes: Sam’s Club would rank near the top 50 of the Fortune 500 if it were standalone, which reframes the interview from a profile into a case study of running a very large retail unit inside a giant parent. Her examples about member experience and talent pathways make the clip useful for anyone tracking how big-box retailers compete on efficiency and talent.
