Hourigan Rice joined Target in the wake of its massive data breach of 2013; prior to Target, she was chief compliance officer at General Motors. She hasn’t disclosed yet what she might do next. Target says Rice will not be replaced, instead, her team will report to chief legal officer Don Liu. (I can already hear the profession’s purists tsk-tsking that idea.)
