Target Names Rick Gomez New Food and Beverage Chief

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Target late last week announced a number of changes across its executive leadership team.

Among those changes is Rick Gomez being named the company's executive vice president and chief food and beverage officer. Gomez, who has been with Target since 2013, most recently served as the company’s chief marketing, digital and strategy officer. During that time, Target said, he led the organization in deepening its relationship with its guests, launched one of the country’s fastest-growing loyalty programs and helped Target achieve industry-leading digital growth. Gomez will leverage the deep expertise he has developed during his time at Target, combined with more than 20 years managing multi-billion-dollar consumer packaged goods brands with MillerCoors, PepsiCo and Quaker Oats, to further accelerate Target’s food and beverage business.
