Australian retail giant Target has a new managing director after Dene Rogers quit
April 9, 2013
Wesfarmers has appointed Stuart Machin as Target’s new managing director, replacing Dene Rogers, who reportedly left the company due to personal reasons.
Wesfarmers Managing Director Richard Goyder
thanked Rogers for his contribution.
“In a very challenging environment, Dene has initiated a number of important changes in Target, particularly in the online and supply chain areas, which we are confident will increasingly benefit the business,” he says.
Machin has been stores development and operations director at Coles since August 2008.
As operations director Machin led departments including IT, Coles Online, Central and Store Operations and worked on the roll out of new stores and new formats.
Goyder says
Machin has been an important
part of
the turnaround at Coles in the past five years.
Both Coles and Target have recently been involved in supply chain transformations.
The transformation of Coles’ supply chain included the use of Easy Warehousing, and Easy Ordering, which reportedly resulted in improved on-shelf availability, lower levels of loss through waste, and improved efficiencies for both Coles and its suppliers.
Target also recently restructured its supply chain.
