MBOLD is excited to welcome Lisa Roath, Target’s executive vice president and chief merchandising officer of food, essentials and beauty, to our Executive Council. A member of Target’s leadership team, Lisa is responsible for buying across these categories for the company as well as the end-to-end food business inclusive of supply chain, store operations and product development. Lisa joined Target in 2006, most recently serving as the retailer’s chief marketing officer.

“At Target, we’re committed to using the size and scale of our business – and the way we do business – to make a difference in the world around us,” Roath said. “That’s why I’m honored to join the MBOLD team and to support their work to shape the future of food. Whether it’s innovation in protein production, creating a circular economy for plastic waste, or driving advancements in soil health and water stewardship, Target’s partnership with MBOLD and its members offers so many exciting opportunities for all of us to find sustainable ways to meet the growing demand for food.” 

Lisa will replace Rick Gomez on our Executive Council, following his promotion to new leadership responsibilities at Target. Many thanks to Rick for his contributions to MBOLD and a warm welcome to Lisa!
