Sabrina Callahan has become a force to be reckoned with in the world of e-commerce, leading the impressive growth of Sam's Club's digital wing. A graduate from the University of Kansas, her journey began with Hilton, where she sharpened her skills in e-commerce and digital strategies.

Making the leap into the fast-paced world of retail, Sabrina found her footing and began to make her mark. In a world driven by convenience, she focused on providing value through digital channels, helping launch initiatives like Scan and Go, curbside pickup, and same-day delivery.
