Former Target tech chief joins RB Global as chief technology officer
RB Global, a global marketplace for buyers and sellers of commercial assets and vehicles, has appointed Nancy King as chief technology officer, effective June 3.
The company, which is the parent company of IAA, said King brings “extensive hands-on information technology leadership experience” for Fortune 100 organizations.
Most recently she served as senior vice president of product engineering for Target, driving its overall vision, strategy and talent development for product engineering. In more than years with the retail giant, she led tech strategy for Target’s mobile apps, website, marketplace and capability services.
“Nancy is a thoughtful and driven leader – an innovator and culture-builder who brings strong vision and delivers solutions that deepen relationships with customers to ultimately gain market share,” RB Global CEO Jim Kessler said.
“Her leadership in this role will help strengthen the foundation of technology across RB Global, aligning our teams and priorities to the needs of the business and industry, and deepening a collaborative and curious culture that learns and remains market-leading.”
King said the time was right to join RB Global, “as it continues to invest in technology and establish itself as the leading omnichannel marketplace for commercial assets and vehicles.
“I look forward to working alongside Jim, the leadership team and the rest of the talented IT organization as we collaborate to build on RB Global’s culture of trust and transparency to deliver on the commitments we make to all of our clients, customers and industry partners.”
King has served as executive sponsor for Target Women in Science and Technology (TWIST), a volunteer network of more than 200 women passionate about encouraging girls and young women to pursue STEM careers.
She also helped launch a development initiative – the Emerging Engineers Program – to support nontraditional pathways to engineering careers.
