2024 Star Women in Grocery Award Winner Jennifer Bull (Q&A)
Jennifer Bull
Director of Quality
Walmart Canada
How did you get your start in the grocery business?
The first job I ever had was in the grocery business, working at a store. At that time, I did not know I was going to make a career out of it, but it became a great foundation of knowledge as my career progressed. I have now worked at three retailers.
What is the best part of your job?
The best part of my job is the people I work with, but also getting to hear directly from customers and what they think of our products—[that] really feeds the passion for quality.
What is the best advice you've received in your career?
Trust in yourself. Sometimes we forget how much we know because it has become second nature, so we need to believe in ourselves and what we are capable of.
How do you like to spend your time outside of work?
My job keeps me indoors most of the time so getting into nature and being active makes me happy. It clears my head and if it is with my family … even better!
What is a fun fact about you?
I have a need to keep learning new things, so I started taking tap dance classes this year. I am awful, but it is fun.
Anything else you'd like to add?
Over the many years of my career, I have worked with so many wonderful leaders, team members and peers and they have each helped shape me as a leader. I owe them all thanks for helping me in my career.
