  • Janey Whiteside, chief customer officer, will continue to report to both Foran and Lore, but her team is ramping up as of today's announcement.

Walmart is making further organizational changes as it continues to integrate its store and digital operations and leadership, according to a memo obtained by CNBC that was sent by CEO Doug McMillon to the retailer's employees.

"Our customers want one, seamless Walmart experience," McMillon wrote to employees. "Earning more of our customers' business in food and consumables is foundational to our strategy, and, at the same time, we will expand our ability to serve them with general merchandise in stores and through our broad ecommerce assortment as we continue to invest and build our ecommerce business."
