Nancy King leads the product engineering team’s construction of technologies that differentiate Target as a retailer. During the pandemic, her team swiftly built new tech-enabled safety and convenience features that deepened customer trust and engagement, including a “virtual line” reservation system, contactless payment options, flexible drive-up and pickup choices, and more. Her team’s innovations have contributed to Target’s unprecedented market share gains.
