My Take
Doug McMillon's story is the kind of corporate arc I genuinely admire. Starting as a high-school summer associate and rising to run Walmart, the world's largest retailer, from 2014 to 2026 is the ultimate from-the-floor ascent. What I value most is the operating instinct it implies: he led Sam's Club and Walmart International before the top job, so he understood the business from the aisles up, not just the boardroom down. Too many CEOs are parachuted in; McMillon was forged inside. In an era of celebrity executives, I find his unflashy, ground-up legitimacy refreshing and worth recording.
