Target names Don Liu as EVP, CLO and GC

Target has named Xerox's Don Liu to its executive team as Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel.

Liu comes to Target from executive roles at Xerox, where he was EVP and General Counsel since 2007. He replaces Tim Baer who is retiring this month after 23 years with Target.

In Liu's new role, he will oversee all legal, corporate governance and government affairs matters for the company.

“I am privileged to join Target as general counsel. I have long admired Target and the legal team behind the brand. Joining the organization will provide me with an incredible opportunity to bring my passion for the law to one of the great retail companies in America. I look forward to building Target’s business and positively impacting its reputation,” said Liu.

In his new role, Liu will report to CEO Brian Cornell.

"I look forward to welcoming Don to our team. His extensive legal expertise as well as his deep business acumen will help us continue to navigate the increasingly complex business environment with the highest standards of ethics and integrity. I know Don will be an excellent addition to our leadership team.”

Baer will help transition Liu into the role by remaining available in an advisory capacity for the next 12 months.
