Target Names Mark Weinstein Chief Marketing and Guest Experience Officer
Weinstein will report to CEO Michael Fiddelke and oversee Roundel and Target+, as Target seeks to strengthen loyalty and personalization.
On Monday, Target appointed Mark Weinstein as chief marketing and guest experience officer, effective immediately, reporting directly to Target CEO Michael Fiddelke.
Weinstein joins the retailer after stepping down Sept. 10 as global chief marketing officer at Hilton, where he spent more than 16 years. Target has lacked a dedicated CMO since Lisa Roath transitioned to chief merchandising officer early last year.
Tasked with shaping the brand's future, Weinstein will oversee retail media network Roundel and marketplace offering Target+. He aims to connect marketing through a consistent platform while harnessing loyalty programs.
Fiddelke praised Weinstein's "proven ability to understand what consumers value," while Weinstein described Target as an "iconic brand" with the "rare ability to be both deeply familiar and continually surprising."
The company reported strong performance, with comparable sales jumping 3.8% and traffic rising 3.6% in Q2. Target operates more than 2,000 U.S. stores and employs more than 400,000 team members.
