Minneapolis — Target Corporation has named Amy Tu as chief legal and compliance officer and corporate secretary. In her new role, Tu now leads the company’s legal, compliance and corporate governance functions. She succeeds Don Liu, who recently announced his upcoming retirement and will transition to a strategic advisory role. Tu joins Target’s leadership team and will report to Brian Cornell, chair and CEO.
“Amy’s experience, both in legal and business leadership, offers strong continuity at the top of our legal affairs and compliance teams,” says Cornell. “Her stewardship will help our strong and tenured leaders in legal affairs sustain their role in serving our stakeholders and growing our business. Amy’s growth mindset, her passion for the law and her skill as a business counselor make her a great addition as our leadership team drives Target’s roadmap for growth and enterprise priorities.”
Tu started her career in retail with senior legal roles at companies such as Walmart and The Gap. She also held numerous leadership positions at Boeing. She joined Tyson Foods in 2017, where she first served as general counsel and secretary, then as chief legal officer and secretary, global governance and corporate affairs, and most recently as president, international of Tyson Foods.
Liu will retire from Target and transition to a strategic advisory role through May 2025. He joined Target in 2016, and throughout his tenure became a trusted advisor to many across the company.
“Over the course of his distinguished career, Don has made an incredible impact on Target and the legal industry,” says Cornell. “As a member of our leadership team, he was an advocate for our company strategy, served as a mentor to teammates and peers and is regarded as a trailblazer for diversity, equity and inclusion within the legal profession. We’re grateful for his many contributions and wish him nothing but the best.”
