Target Corporation has appointed Mike McNamara as the executive vice president and chief information officer.
As the company’s top technology leader, McNamara will further advance Target’s digital transformation and help Target become a leading omnichannel retailer.

Looking ahead, I am thrilled to join Target at a time when Brian and the leadership team are intensifying their investment in technology and prioritizing its role in Target’s future success. I have long admired Target as a retailer and its legacy of putting customers first. To be part of an organization like Target and help shape the future of its technology and omnichannel strategy was a dream opportunity for me.” (GK)
