Cindy Moehring is a recognized global leader, independent board member, and former C-suite executive. Her extensive experience spans the world’s largest multi-national corporation (Walmart, NYSE: WMT), academia, publicly listed companies, privately held start-ups, and the non-profit sector (U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee.) Her industry experience includes retail (food and non-food; digital and physical), consumer products, technology, financial services (bank and non-bank), healthcare (pharmacies), transportation and supply chain, agriculture, manufacturing, and sports management.

Cindy serves on boards for three for-profit companies, one public and two private.

Cindy also serves as a member of the board of advisors for Ethena, Inc., a privately held tech company, and CommSafe AI, another privately held tech company.

In the non-profit sector, Cindy recently had the honor of being appointed to serve on the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Board’s National Governing Body (NGB) Oversight and Compliance Committee. The committee is charged with oversight of over 50 individual member sport organizations (NGBs), and reports to Congress on its activities.

Cindy gained much of her experience during a distinguished 20-year career with Walmart, Inc., where she served as Senior Vice President, Global Chief Ethics Officer, U.S. Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer, and C-Suite member of the Walmart U.S. leadership team. In these roles she was involved in all aspects of the business and operational management. Cindy reported to the Audit Committee and worked directly with the full Walmart Board of Directors and four Walmart CEOs.

Cindy led Walmart through multiple complex challenges, including spearheading the transformation of Walmart’s global culture of integrity and its compliance program in the wake of the company’s Foreign Corrupt Practices Act investigation. She developed and implemented a global program that included building and leading a global team based in 27 countries that served over 2 million employees in both the digital and physical environments. Cindy also drove the modernization of Walmart’s global corporate governance, enterprise risk management and ESG practices. Cindy managed a $70M budget and led a multi-disciplinary, 400-person team that implemented blockchain technology, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other digital tools to advance controls in critical regulatory risk areas for over 5,000 facilities.

In 2019, Cindy was tapped to launch the Business Integrity Leadership Initiative for the Sam M. Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas, a top 25 public business school. As the Founder and Executive Chair, Cindy provides extensive thought leadership, develops new curriculum, courses, career readiness credentials, and outreach programs for the university and business leaders. She is also a frequent guest lecturer. She recruited and now leads a 20 member external advisory board consisting of public and private company board members, CSuite leaders, and other senior business leaders. With the assistance of this external board and an internal academic advisory board, Cindy is positioning the Walton College of Business as a strategic and influential academic leader.
