Kirsten Evans Biography
Kirsten Evans is a retail and marketing executive whose career at Walmart spans more than two decades and encompasses a broad range of roles. Evans began her professional journey as a product manager at Frito-Lay and was part of a group of Frito-Lay marketing executives who transitioned to Walmart, joining the company in a marketing capacity alongside colleagues who would later become prominent chief marketing officers. Her background in marketing strategy and consumer insight established her as a versatile leader within one of the world's largest retail organizations.
During her tenure at Walmart, Evans has held positions including vice president of marketing for local and grocery, senior director of seasonal marketing, and vice president and divisional merchandise manager for dry grocery. In these roles, she oversaw significant portions of Walmart's grocery business and managed key supplier relationships. Her cross-functional experience in both marketing and merchandising has contributed to her comprehensive understanding of retail operations. Evans has described retail as "high energy, high intensity, and you can see the direct results of your actions very quickly."
Evans advanced to senior vice president of marketing at Walmart U.S., where she was responsible for brand, seasonal, multicultural, and category marketing. In this capacity, she was recognized by Ad Age as one of its "Women to Watch" and received the AWNY Quantum Leap Award, which honors executive women driving meaningful change within their organizations. She has identified her primary professional challenge as determining which messages will have the greatest impact on customers.
After leading U.S. marketing, Evans moved to Walmart's international operations, serving as chief customer officer for Walmart Canada, where she directed customer experience, membership, and marketing strategy. She later returned to Walmart's U.S. operations as senior vice president of private brands, overseeing brand management and marketing strategy for Walmart's own-label portfolio. Evans holds a bachelor's degree in consumer affairs and an MBA from the University of Texas at Austin McCombs School of Business. Her career, spanning product management to international executive leadership, positions her as a knowledgeable voice on retail strategy, brand building, and women in business.
