Target has appointed Ben Cook as Senior VP of Global Logistics, Inventory Allocation and Replenishment. Cook will be responsible for leading the company’s inbound and outbound supply chain processes, including carrier transportation and last-mile delivery. He will report to Target’s Executive VP and Chief Supply Chain and Logistics Officer Arthur Valdez.
“Our guests expect us to deliver product quickly and reliably, and that means we need a supply chain that’s increasingly fast and precise,” said Valdez in a statement. “Ben’s expertise and proven track record in cutting cost and reducing complexity in the name of speed will be an incredible asset to our team. We believe he’s the right addition to the work we’re doing to strengthen Target’s supply chain so we can offer an even faster and simpler guest experience.”
Cook joins Target from Apple, where he was the Director of Logistics and Supply Chain strategies, and led the transformation of the company’s omnichannel distribution model. Prior to Apple, Cook held operational roles at Kimberly-Clark and The Home Depot.
