Background

About Chip Daugherty

I’m an award-winning eCommerce and retail executive with 10+ years of experience leading high-growth, customer-centric businesses across iconic brands like Walmart, Amazon, Coupang, and Ralph Lauren. I specialize in transforming digital experiences, scaling omni-channel operations, and building empowered teams that consistently deliver results. Throughout my career, I’ve led businesses from $40M to $3B, delivering measurable impact—like $459M in sales growth, a 7.5% boost in profitability, and significant market share gains. At Walmart, I was honored as Merchant of the Year for leading our digital response to COVID-19, shifting supply chains and site strategy to meet unprecedented customer demand. But what drives me most is leadership. I believe the most critical role of an executive is to build a culture of empowerment – where every team member feels they belong, are trusted to make decisions, and are supported to grow. I lead with empathy, clarity, and accountability, creating environments where people and performance thrive together. I love when I can bring my passion for retail, strategic thinking, and people-first leadership to a mission-driven purpose poised for growth. Whether it’s scaling DTC operations, driving customer engagement, or building high-performing teams – I enjoy a challenge!
