Target Group has bolstered its senior team with the appointment of Scott Hill as chief information officer (CIO).
Hill (pictured) has over 25 years of experience in the IT industry, implementing global strategies, business change initiatives and multi-million pound digital transformation projects for both national and international brands.
EXPERIENCE
Having joined IBM as part of its graduate programme, he then spent seven years with Accenture, delivering key projects for clients across the UK and Europe. He would subsequently join Circle to build a successful consulting company, leading to him joining The White Company to implement its ecommerce capability, integration platform and contact centre solution, among other projects.
He has also worked for Boden, Dyson Versace and Currys. A contract with Kaplan International turned into the role of global strategy and delivery director.
He joins Target following the conclusion of his contract as global head of website transformation for Diageo.
RESPONSIBILITIES
In his new role, Hill will support both new and existing Target clients in their own digital transformation. He will be tasked with overseeing Target’s entire IT strategy, ensuring the business can meet the demands of its customers in all sectors, while continuing to deliver innovation across its full capabilities.
Hill said: “Target presents a tremendous opportunity to join a company built on innovative technology and fantastic talent. I’m excited to be helping deliver the change that will enable Target to achieve its clear ambitions and provide an even greater service to its broad range of clients.
“Not only is my experience well suited to Target and its client base, but in the stewardship of Target’s relationship with its tremendous parent company Tech Mahindra.
“As Target continues to scale, I’m looking forward to working with the senior team and talented colleagues across Target to not just deliver for clients, but exceed expectations. We want to bring them a roadmap of innovations and part of my remit will be putting the strategies, technology and resources in place to do just that.
“Alongside delighting clients, our aim is to attract new business and excite our colleagues, recognising their talents and their hard work in driving our proposition and the wider business forward.”
Peter O’Connor, CEO of Target Group, added: “When you consider Scott’s expertise and impressive experience, he is a fantastic addition to the team at Target. His extensive background in technology and complex digital transformation within respected global brands will be hugely valuable given our own client base and broad range of services.
“The addition of Scott is another strategic appointment that strengthens our senior team and is a real statement of intent as we continue to drive the business forward and execute our ambitious growth plans.”
