Choose the right perspective
For goods and services Target buys to run stores and offices, pick from the indirect and strategic sourcing group; Nicole Chappell and Laura Little have the most category-specific titles, Christi Pedersen describes the role as indirect sourcing and procurement, and Daniel Hohmann covers purchasing operations. For merchandise inputs, Patty Reber and Karen Epple are the fits. Kelli Kolquist and Paul Dolan no longer hold Target titles, which suits questions on how Target sourcing has changed over time, with Paul Dolan now in procurement at Shipt.
