About Robert Parvis
I am a Packaging Manager for Sam’s Club and an active part of the Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Packaging SVN Leadership team. In my daily work, I will touch the packaging of items all across the club, ranging from gas grills to fresh sausages to liquid laundry detergent. My goal is to improve each package that I work on: reduce damages, maximize value, and improve the experience for everyone who touches the package. Since I joined the company in May of 2007, I have also had the pleasure of being part of the Packaging Sustainable Value Network Leadership team. We work with key stakeholders to drive more sustainable packaging within the company and in the industry. I am very close to the development, improvement, and use of the packaging scorecard. It is exciting to be working on such key initiatives within the company, and I know that my work my work can have a lasting impact not just on the company, but on the environment. Before I joined the company and moved to Arkansas in 2007, I worked out in California in Packaging R&D. My wife and I are happy to be in Northwest Arkansas, but still miss the mild winters from the Bay Area. Just as important, we miss all the Cal football and basketball games. We still root them on from afar.
