  Help to make target one of the most admired retailers of its time. Started when the company had less than 300 stores and left when it was over 1300. Turn target into the darling of Wall Street and ultimately the main driving force behind the corporation. Delivered my financial plan numbers on a yearly basis over 50% of the time. Worked my way from entry level to senior buyer in six short years. Great company and great time to work for them. Help to make target one of the most admired retailers of its time.
