Jordan Berke led e-commerce activities for Walmart in China for almost ten years, based out of Shenzhen, China. He helped to negotiate Walmart’s $4bn investment in JD and led implementation of the strategic alliance formed post-investment, oversaw $400m investment and partnership with Dada/JD Daojia, China’s largest crowdsourced delivery platform / #2 largest online grocery platform (behind Meituan), and built Walmart’s one-hour fresh delivery business that now serves 50m customers annually across 180 cities. This business became key driver of Walmart’s growth in China and benchmark for company’s global e-commerce development. After he left Walmart, Jordan started Tomorrow Retail, a strategic consultancy that enables global retailers and brands to accelerate their digital transformation, with specific focus on e-commerce channel strategy, in-store digitization and customer data management. In our conversation we discussed Jordan’s China experience, what made Walmart unique in terms of business strategy as well as company culture, and how should companies around the world approach learning from Chinese tech giants such as Tencent, Alibaba, and others.
