Target Corp. appointed Grant McGee as EVP and chief legal and compliance officer, effective May 31. In the role, he will lead Target’s legal, compliance, and risk teams, as well as its government affairs function. 

McGee arrives at Target with 20 years of legal expertise and experience in large, consumer-facing global companies. Most recently, he served as the general counsel for consumer goods and personal care products giant Kimberly-Clark, leading legal, public policy, government affairs, compliance, security, and flight operations for the company. 

“Legal, compliance and government affairs are essential in today’s dynamic operating environment,” said McGee in an interview on Target’s website. “Whether we’re enabling AI and emerging technologies, adapting to evolving global regulations, or partnering with our team, guests and partners to build lasting value, our team plays a critical role in helping Target deliver its strategy at speed.” 

The leadership appointment is the second of the month for Target. Jeff England was previously named executive VP and chief global supply chain and logistics officer.
