Castro-Wright joined Wal-Mart in 2004 as president and COO of the retailer’s Mexican operations and was promoted to vice chairman three years ago. He assumed the e-commerce and sourcing roles in August last year.
“Eduardo has made many contributions at Wal-Mart, beginning in Mexico and continuing until today,” said Wal-Mart CEO Mike Duke. “He has been a strong advocate for our customers and in every assignment has brought passion and commitment to the job.”
