Anne Dament Leaves Role as Target's Senior Vice President of Grocery
MINNEAPOLIS, MN - It looks as though Target may have a bit more tweaks in store as it makes its way towards the top of the prospective grocery sector. The retailer has announced another executive has left the company, this one being Target’s grocery chief Anne Dament.
Although Target did not discuss the circumstances surrounding Dament’s exit, the Senior Vice President of Grocery Merchandising’s official last day has been announced as November 18, 2016. Dament held her role for 18 months.
The StarTribune reported that Target’s company spokeswoman Katie Boylan stated that Dament’s work is already being redistributed to Mark Tritton. Tritton is the retailer’s Chief Merchandising Officer and senior to Dament.
Dament’s exit is spreading through the buy-side sector as a bit of a surprise, having been hired initially by CEO Brian Cornell as one of his first appointments to put a further focus on grocery. Recently, Target’s Chief Digital Officer left the company, as did the retailer’s Chief Marketing Officer.
Target stated that it will be searching both internally and externally for a replacement for its head grocery position.
What new strategies will Target unveil to continue its ramped up focus on fresh, and which executive will step into the vacated role? As Target makes moves to step further into grocery, AndNowUKnow will keep you updated.
