Target’s newly appointed Chief Executive Officer, Michael Fiddelke, initiated a significant reshuffling of the company’s senior leadership team at the retailer’s Minneapolis headquarters this week to revitalize the brand’s operational performance following a period of sluggish growth and inventory challenges. Fiddelke, who transitioned into the top role after serving as the company’s Chief Financial Officer, is seeking to streamline decision-making and restore investor confidence as the big-box retailer faces fluctuating consumer spending and stiff competition from rivals like Walmart and Amazon. The leadership overhaul includes several high-level promotions and shifts in responsibility aimed at sharpening the company’s focus on supply chain efficiency and digital integration. While the specific names of all departing executives were not immediately disclosed, the reorganization signals a departure from the previous management structure that struggled to adapt to post-pandemic shifts in shopping habits. Fiddelke’s strategy appears to involve a leaner administrative layer, which he believes will allow the company to react more quickly to market trends and operational bottlenecks that have plagued the firm over the last two fiscal years. Industry analysts view this move as a critical first step for Fiddelke, who inherited a retail giant grappling with high shrink rates—primarily due to theft and organized retail crime—and a decline in discretionary spending among its core middle-class customer base. By reshaping his inner circle so early in his tenure, the CEO is demonstrating an aggressive approach to course-correction. This restructuring is expected to be followed by a broader review of the company's store operations and private-label brand portfolio to ensure the retailer remains relevant in an increasingly price-sensitive economic environment.
