Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer

Leadership Philosophy:

My philosophy is simply, “give to get.” I have to give as much as I expect in return, and I have to give first.

What Excites you About Target:

Before I arrived, I was most excited about the huge opportunities ahead for such a successful and iconic brand. I am incredibly excited about how the team embraces innovation. The pride here is contagious.

Favorite Family Tradition:

Cake for breakfast on birthday mornings. My wife started it with our kids. I, unfortunately, don’t eat cake but I have an October birthday, so pumpkin pie with Cool Whip makes an awesome breakfast once a year!

Favorite Gadget:

Anything Apple. If they made a house, I’d buy it and upgrade it every time a new release was available!
