Jeff England is set to take over Target’s global supply chain and logistics leadership at the end of May 2026, a transition that also shifts longtime executive Gretchen McCarthy into an advisory post, Yahoo Finance reported. [1]
Target appointed England as executive vice president and chief global supply chain and logistics officer, effective May 31, 2026. [1] In the role, he will report to Target Chief Operating Officer Lisa Roath. [1]

The appointment is the latest in a series of leadership moves at Target that began on 2025-08-20, when the retailer named a new CEO amid business struggles.
