Wal-Mart names marketing head

BENTONVILLE, Ark. ― Wal-Mart has named Tony Rogers as chief marketing officer as it attempts to buoy its sales and build its customer base. Rogers, who takes over from Stephen Quinn next month, has been with the company for a decade, recently as chief marketing officer for Wal-Mart in China. Quinn’s retirement follows that of former chief financial officer Charles Holley in October. The executive shuffle comes in the wake of tepid earnings for the company.
