Target Corporation has recently strengthened its leadership team by appointing Amy Tu as the new chief legal and compliance officer, succeeding the retiring Don Liu. As part of Target’s leadership team, Tu will report directly to Chair and CEO Brian Cornell, overseeing the retailer’s legal, compliance, and corporate governance functions. Her previous experience is impressive; she joins from Tyson Foods, where she held multiple leadership roles, including group VP of international markets and chief administrative officer. Tu’s background also includes significant positions at Boeing and senior legal roles at Walmart and The Gap.

Cornell highlighted Tu’s diverse experience, stating, “Her stewardship will help our strong and tenured leaders in legal affairs sustain their role in serving our stakeholders and growing our business.” This transition comes as Liu, who joined Target in 2016, shifts into a strategic advisory role until May 2025. His contributions were pivotal in shaping Target’s corporate strategy and advocating for diversity within the legal profession.

Tu expressed excitement about her new role, recognizing the strength of Target’s brand and its dynamic team culture. “I am honored to lead these best-in-class legal affairs and compliance teams,” she remarked, indicating her commitment to ensuring Target remains a special place for consumers and employees alike.

As a top food retailer, Target continues to position itself for future growth, maintaining its standing at No. 7 on The PG 100 list of North America’s leading food and consumables retailers. This strategic appointment underscores the company’s ongoing dedication to strong corporate governance and compliance, essential for its business sustainability and stakeholder trust.
