In a significant move to bolster its supply chain capabilities, Target Corporation has announced the appointment of Jeff England as the Executive Vice President and Chief Global Supply Chain and Logistics Officer, effective May 31, 2026. His role will be pivotal in enhancing the shopping experience for Target's guests, further solidifying the company's ambition for growth.

As Target embarks on this new chapter, the company aims to lead with its merchandising authority and elevate the guest experience while also advancing its technological landscape and boosting community engagement. A core aspect of this strategy involves the improvement of its supply chain operations. This aims to provide customers with speed, reliability, and precision in their shopping journey.

Michael Fiddelke, Target's CEO, emphasized the importance of England's appointment, stating, "Guests come to Target for great style, design, and value – and they trust we'll be in stock and ready for them every time they shop. Elevating that guest experience is one of our top priorities, and Jeff's deep expertise across operations, engineering, technology, and automation, along with a strong track record of leading operations of various sizes and complexities, is exactly what will be required to strengthen how we deliver for our guests."

Jeff England brings extensive experience to Target, having previously served as the Chief Supply Chain Officer at QXO, where he significantly improved inventory availability, reduced transportation costs, and enhanced operational performance. His career includes notable positions at Genuine Parts Company and a nearly two-decade tenure at Walmart, where he held various roles focused on operations, strategy, and finance. His broad experience encompasses everything from overseeing individual site operations to managing entire supply chains effectively.

"It's an honor to join Target and be part of such an iconic brand," said England regarding his new position. He expressed confidence in Target's growth plans and enthusiasm about collaborating with the team to build on the company's strong foundation while enhancing the supply chain's speed, reliability, and precision.

Formerly in charge of supply chain operations, Gretchen McCarthy will be transitioning to a strategic advisor role until August. CEO Fiddelke acknowledged her significant contributions, stating, "Gretchen has made many meaningful contributions to Target during her long career at the company. She set up our operations, capabilities, and team to be ready for this next phase, and I'm grateful for her leadership."

England's appointment is a strategic reflection of Target's unwavering focus on delivering growth while ensuring a best-in-class shopping experience for customers, both in stores and online.

As Target seeks to weave together style, design, and value across more than 2,000 U.S. stores and its online platform, England's extensive background offers a promising avenue to further refine operations and enhance service delivery. With more than 400,000 team members, Target is committed to supporting millions of families every week and engaging actively in community development.
