In an interview with The Associated Press on Friday, Dach, who has been commuting between Wal-Mart's headquarters and his home in Washington, D.C., nearly every week, said that it was his decision to leave and that he approached Duke a few months ago about his intentions. He noted Duke wanted him to stay on for a few months to help with the transition. He says he's unsure of his plans right now but is hoping to take on a similar challenge. "There isn't a perfect time to leave a really good job," he said. But he added that it seemed like the right time to "close this chapter." "We demonstrated the ability to make a difference on issues that people care about," he said. Before joining Wal-Mart, Dach was vice chairman of Edelman, a major global communications firm, where he led the Washington office, the company's research, advertising and corporate social responsibility consulting divisions and its global affairs, crisis, technology and health care practices. Dach also had been active as a strategist in Democratic politics and worked in a number of presidential campaigns. He also served in President Bill Clinton's administration.
