Brian C. Cornell

Chairman and CEO, Target Corporation

"Transforming Target"

"Pick an industry. Whether you’re in financial services, manufacturing, health care, or retail, the kind of disruption we’re seeing today is nothing short of amazing," Target Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Brian Cornell told the February 3 meeting of the Boston College Chief Executives Club. During the last holiday season, more retail consumers shopped online than visited physical stores, Cornell said.

Takeaway

Urban Stores

Whether it’s here in Boston or in Minneapolis or other major cities I travel to, we know that our guests—today’s consumer—are moving back to urban centers. We need to make sure that our brand is there.

Takeaway

Embracing Digital

We have to embrace digital...It’s really the innovation that’s going to drive the future. But, as a retailer, we have to ensure our stores and our supply chains remain the powerful point of differentiation as we go into the future.

Takeaway

Cybersecurity

If we think about our risk maps as leaders, on the very top of that has to be cybersecurity...I actually consider this one of the biggest threats to commerce in America.
