Overview
- Target announced Tuesday that Jeff England will join as executive vice president and chief global supply chain and logistics officer, with the appointment taking effect on May 31.
- England will report to Chief Operating Officer Lisa Roath while current supply chain chief Gretchen McCarthy will move into a strategic advisor role through August.
- England joins from building-products distributor QXO after stints as chief supply chain officer at Genuine Parts Company and more than 18 years in roles at Walmart.
- He has said his priorities are to modernize how Target plans, moves and delivers products and to use AI and automation to speed repetitive tasks and improve consistency.
- The hire supports Fiddelke’s wider turnaround plan that includes the new Houston receive center and a roughly multi‑billion dollar program aimed at fixing in‑stock problems and speeding store and same‑day delivery for shoppers.
