Balbale continued on his post, "For any of you that have the opportunity to work for Steve Breen, Kieran Shanahan or Latriece Watkins — take it! I promise you they will make you better.
"These last two years, supporting Walmart's Omni beauty business, have been particularly thrilling. I am proud of the speed with which the Walmart beauty team is transforming the business — and in turn shifting the narrative of Walmart Beauty. I have no doubt that they will continue their ambitious trajectory and I will be celebrating their success from a far.
Balbale concluded, "While I am excited for the next adventure (more on that soon!) I do want to take this moment to say thank you to the colleagues and friends that have made this chapter so rewarding."
