Ex CEO of Walmart

Michael Terry Duke (born December 7, 1949) is an American businessman. He served as the fourth chief executive officer of Walmart from 2009 to 2013. Duke was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering (2010) for leadership and contributions to the design and implementation of innovative logistics and retail technologies.

Duke joined Walmart in 1995, serving as the executive in charge of the company's international operations. He became the CEO of Walmart in February 2009, and in 2009 served as a member of the institution's advisory board. As of 2012 he sat on the board of directors of the Consumer Goods Forum. In 2010 he set goals to make Walmart energy efficient as possible and to open Walmart stores in countries like Russia. In 2012, his salary was $18.2 million. Duke ranked No. 10 on Forbes list of The World's Most Powerful People in 2013. That same year, Walmart ranked No. 15 on Forbes list of Most Patriotic Brands—and the only retailer on the list—as voted by U. S. consumers. As of November 25, 2013, Duke's tenure as CEO ended with his sudden replacement decided by Walmart's Board. Press reports indicated that the total value of Duke's pension, deferred compensation and other retirement accounts totaled over $113 million. Duke said in 2012 that his biggest regret as CEO was not investing more in e commerce to better compete with Amazon. "I wish we had moved faster. We've proven ourselves to be successful in many areas, and I simply wonder why we didn't move more quickly. This is especially true for e commerce," Duke said at the time. "Right now we're making tremendous progress, and the business is moving, but we should have moved faster to expand this area."
