Not surprising. In 2005 they hired wal-mart's COO. http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2005/aug05/08-04Tur...

Edit: (or to be more pedantic, they hired Kevin Turner, a Wal-Mart executive to be their COO)




Kevin Turner was the CEO of Sam's Club. CIO before that.


Sam's club is a subsidiary of wal-mart http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam%27s_Club He was also executive vice president of Wal-Mart Stores Inc.


Yes, sorry that wasn't clear. I meant he was Walmart CIO, then Sam's CEO.
