He will report to executive vice president and chief financial officer Pamela Knous. Singer has 27 years of experience in the retail industry in information technology, merchandising and supply chain management. Prior to joining Target in 1984, he worked for Kmart.

Adding Paul to their team is a huge step of credibility for SuperValu and their post merger endeavors. Bright, articulate, and a great person, we are all blessed to have Paul back among the CIOs in this industry.
