Bauer most recently served as chief logistics officer for discount retailer The TJX Companies, and held prior supply chain leadership positions at Kohl’s and Starbucks. He has also previously worked at Target from 1999 to 2007.
“We’re thrilled to have John rejoin the Target team,” said Valdez. “Inventory management touches all aspects of the business, from merchandising and sourcing, to supply chain and stores. John has experience working across all aspects of retail and delivering results in transformational environments.”
Target’s strategy to leverage its network of more than 1,800 stores includes completely transforming its supply chain and logistics capabilities. The work has been integral to offering guests free two-day shipping nationwide, same-day delivery shopped by Shipt in 150 markets and the rollout of Drive Up and Order Pick-up services.
“Target is dedicated to ensuring guests have access to the products they love, when and how they want them,” said Bauer. “I’m looking forward to returning to a great company and helping drive the next phase of an industry-leading supply chain evolution.”
