Annie Reinke leverages a diverse background in entrepreneurship, music, and teaching to drive the ongoing success of 8th & Walton.  A graduate of Chicago’s Columbia College, Annie brings a wealth of experience to her role as Marketing Manager, including work as a musician, music teacher, yoga instructor, and owning and operating her own cottage bakery (The Family Crumb). She understands the challenges that suppliers and brand-builders often face, and spearheads the initiatives and tools that help 8th & Walton’s clients succeed. As Annie herself says: “I’m proud to be part of a company that puts people and planet at the center of what it does. When we help small and medium suppliers succeed with Walmart, we’re not just driving business results; we’re supporting sustainable growth, stronger communities, and better choices for customers everywhere. Being part of that bigger purpose is incredibly motivating.”
