The company is searching externally for a candidate to replace Beth Jacob, who resigned today after holding the chief information officer post since 2008. The new executive will help revamp Target’s information-security and compliance operations, Chief Executive Officer Gregg Steinhafel said in an e-mailed statement. Promontory Financial Group will advise on the overhaul, he said.
