About Adam Aldrete

Hey there, I’m Adam. I specialize in leveraging technology to optimize the global supply chains of the world’s largest retailers. For the past few years I have been focused on taking Walmart Imports from inception, to pilot, and now a full scale launch (a true 0-to-1 rollout); working on both the technical product development and business program strategy. This program removes barriers for third party sellers to make international shipping as easy, seamless, and reliable as possible; with the ultimate goal of increasing assortment available to consumers on Walmart.comProfessionally I have been working in the global supply chain space for 15+ years. I have had direct responsibility over mutibillion-dollar supply chains, unlocked over a hundred million dollars in free cash flow, developed revenue generating product lines, and driven environmental and sustainability reductions. My tenure has also led me to postings abroad, day to day team management, and so much more. Outside of work I’m a dedicated father, avid F1 fan (looking forward to Adrian Newey at Aston Martin), and general explorer. Thanks for stopping by, if you have any questions feel free to drop me a message.
