Clobotics Names Ex-Walmart CIO To Advisory Board

Clobotics, a computer vision solution provider for the retail and wind power industries, has named Kevin Turner to its Board of Advisors. Turner has extensive experience in both technology and retail: he served as CIO of Walmart from 2000 to 2002, President and CEO of Sam’s Club from 2002 to 2005 and was COO of Microsoft from 2005 to 2016.

Turner is currently Vice Chairman and Senior Advisor to the CEO for Albertsons Companies and serves on the Board of Directors for Nordstrom.

“Clobotics is already partnering with the most recognizable retail companies in the world to provide them with unprecedented insight,” said George Yan, CEO of Clobotics in a statement. “Mr. Turner’s experience integrating new processes and technologies within retail, while managing cross-country operations, will prove invaluable.”

The solution provider recently raised $11 million in funding, bringing the total capital raised during its Series A financing round to $21 million.
