Michael Duke Biography

Mike Duke served as the CEO of Walmart, the world’s largest retailer and the biggest private employer, from 2009–2014. He was the fourth CEO since the company became publicly traded in 1970.

Inheriting an organization facing one of the toughest retail environments in company history, he helped navigate a period of economic, social, and technological change while delivering strong financial results. He grew the retailer’s net income 27-percent in his first year (despite the recession) and worked to restructure the company prioritizing e-commerce.

Under his leadership, Walmart made serious investments in high-tech talent, acquired several startups, and injected a bit of Silicon Valley into Bentonville, Arkansas. The company also expanded significantly internationally and became a leader on the issues of sustainability and corporate social responsibility.

Much of this success can be attributed to Duke’s strong leadership regarding the company’s culture and core values. Walmart has the power to positively influence governments, businesses, and individuals around the world, and Duke make sure that the company not only grew but grew with integrity.

He currently serves as Adjunct Professor at his alma mater, Georgia Tech, and also serves on the Georgia Tech Foundation Board of Trustees. He is currently a member of the National Academy of Engineering.
