Walmart adds JEC economist to D.C. team

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on April 12, 2021

Walmart's massive public-policy division has turned to the Joint Economic Committee for its latest hire.

Beila Leboeuf joined the retail behemoth this month as director of global public policy. Walmart shelled out $6.4 million on its federal lobbying program last year and employs around 40 in-house lobbyists.

Leboeuf spent the last four years with Joint Economic Committee, most recently as a senior economist to the Republican side. She holds a PhD in economics from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.
