Manish joined Walmart in 2022, having previously served as the CEO of BARK. And prior to that, a leader at Amazon in the worldwide operations division and at eBay.

Manish, thank you so much for joining us today.

So I appreciate that we can drill down now on some of these businesses.

And so we appreciate your time and walking us through it.

Manish Joneja

Thank you.
