Senior Vice President of Supplier Development, Sourcing, Walmart International.

Great first day at Walmart's 11th annual Open Call!   It always inspires me to witness the passion, creativity, and innovation suppliers that come to Open Call bring to the table. And what a treat to have entrepreneur, investor and "Shark Tank" star Daymond John speak to the group and share some best practices on entrepreneurship.   For our largest sourcing event of the year, Open Call invites businesses from across America to pitch their products made, grown or assembled in the U.S. to be sold on Walmart or Sam's Club shelves or online. This year, we invited over hundreds of finalists from 48 states, as well as D.C. and Puerto Rico, to Bentonville to meet with our merchants.   One exciting add this year: For the first time, we've invited Walmart merchants from Canada and Mexico to Open Call, creating an opportunity for suppliers to export their U.S. products to these international markets. This will help suppliers expand to create more jobs, open new manufacturing facilities and reach new customers.   And let the fun begin tomorrow – hearing pitches and giving golden tickets to our future suppliers.   #WalmartOpenCall

Dear Mr Jason you are an example of leadership and an inspiration , for other side I want to know why Walmart doesn’t give more opportunities to minorities suppliers expanding their products, we have worked with Walmart for 8 years selling our honey Ladybeerawhoney.com Lowest prices incredible quality but only in Florida , I ask every year for expansion to more DC in other states but never happened and we have capacity to produce honey for all US and beyond
