The confirmation of Gray’s departure comes after Wal-Mart said last month that two other executives had left its Chinese unit.
Roland Lawrence and Rob Cissell, the then CFO and COO of Wal-Mart’s Chinese operations, also left to explore new opportunities.
Wal-Mart has since appointed Mario-José Medina as CFO and Del Sloenker as COO of its Chinese arm.
The retailer, however, refused to be drawn on who had taken on Gray’s responsibilities or if a replacement would be appointed.
