I had the pleasure of reporting to Percy for a year as part of the newly created Seasonal Events team. Percy saw our team’s newness as an opportunity to seek and develop invaluable relationships with partners across the organization, including our Target India and Minneapolis-based teams. Percy continued to challenge our team to drive innovative and creative solutions, processes and tools when faced with the most complex of problems. With his leadership, our team was able to drive enterprise-wide adoption of an end-to-end seasonal process that proved itself as the critical tool for Target Canada’s successful Fourth Quarter Holiday Season.

Everyone loves Percy. He has the power to build strong relationships with anyone around him – it won’t take you long to realize that you want to be Percy’s best friend and keep him on your side.

At a start-up stage at Target with many uncertainties and challenges, Percy led and showed us how to turn these uncertainties to opportunities, and how we can deliver strong results. Every time we ran into a challenge, Percy was always there to help us view the problem from different perspective, think outside of the box, and find a creative solution. What sets him apart, is that even if he has an extensive expertise in retail, he consistently asks questions to learn more and asks for feedback so that he can improve further. I cannot count how many business articles and presentation slides he shared with us, that shows his dedication to continuously improve and learn. Percy is a humble, genuine, and assertive leader that many of us admire at Target, I look forward to seeing where Percy ends up as a CEO!
