Jim's guest today on The CMO Podcast is Ciara Anfield, the Senior Vice President and Chief Membership & Marketing Officer at Sam’s Club. Sam’s has a special place in Jim's heart–the first store opened in 1983, the same year that Jim and his wife got married and he started at Procter & Gamble. Now 40 years later, Sam’s revenue is about the size of P&G’s, $80 billion give or take.

As you likely know, Sam’s is a membership warehouse club store model, offering bulk items at an exceptional value. Sam’s Club has about 600 locations across the U.S. and Puerto Rico, as well as in Mexico, Brazil and China. Sam’s is owned and operated by Walmart, which once again topped the Fortune 500 with revenue of more than $600 billion.

Ciara worked at Walmart for 12 years in multiple roles, before moving to Sam’s Club in 2020. Now a year into her role as CMO, she joins Jim on the podcast to discuss the lessons she's learned: from understanding the power of empathy, to the journey of helping a brand (and a team) discover their purpose. We recorded this show at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, in the middle of a very energetic week, so please welcome Ciara to the podcast!
