Rachel Brand, Walmart's executive vice president of global governance, chief legal officer, and corporate secretary, recently visited ACC headquarters in Washington, DC to talk with President & CEO Veta T. Richardson about adjusting to her new role at the world's largest company. Walmart is the largest company by revenue on the Fortune Global 500 list in 2019, and is the largest private sector employer in the world with 2.2 million employees globally.
Brand's illustrious legal career includes the distinction of being the first woman to serve as associate attorney general for the US Department of Justice (DOJ). In that role, she oversaw thousands of lawyers and professionals in the DOJ's civil litigation division as well as the department's research and grant-making offices, including the Office on Violence Against Women.
