Target Corporation announced the retirement of Executive Vice President and Chief Stores Officer Janna Potts. She will remain with the Company in an advisory role until May 1, 2020. Effective immediately, Mark Schindele has been named Executive Vice President and Chief Stores Officer. He also will join Target's Leadership Team. Schindele has been with the Company for nearly 20 years, most recently serving as its Senior Vice President of Properties. In that role, he was responsible for leading the Company's ambitious remodel and small-format strategies, elevating the shopping experience and introducing Target to new guests in densely populated areas. Prior to that, Schindele held leadership positions in Merchandising, Sourcing and Operations. Additionally, the company announced that it is formalizing the interim structure it announced for its Merchandising organization in October with the appointment of Christina Hennington to Executive Vice President and Chief Merchandising Officer, Hardlines, Essentials and Capabilities, and Jill Sando to Executive Vice President and Chief Merchandising Officer, Style and Owned Brands, effective immediately. Both Hennington and Sando will join Target's Leadership Team. This structure reflects the size, scale and complexity of Target's multi-category commercial businesses and operations. In their roles, Hennington and Sando will collaborate closely with Stephanie Lundquist, Target's Executive Vice President and President of Food and Beverage, on the development and execution of a unified Merchandising strategy for the retailer.
