About Gabriel Brown

I am an innovative, customer obsessed product manager who loves to deliver ultimate value to the customer. As a product manager, I use my critical thinking and natural curiosity to uncover unrealized pain points and successfully manage stakeholder relationships. By having a product focused mindset, I create space for strategic decision making and put halt to assumption based thinking. I love to learn, and am often regarded as passionate, creative and coachable by my peers. In June 2023, I was nominated on the AAC (Associate Advisory Council) by my manager to be a voice for associates in our product organization, ensuring that Walmart remains an exciting place work.
