Jim Lee, the former deputy chief financial officer for Pepsi, will officially start in his new role next week, replacing Michael Fiddelke, who will then fully assume the role of chief operating officer, a job opening left by departing longtime executive John Mulligan, who is retiring, according to a Thursday morning release, .

Lee has more than 25 years of financial, strategy and business experience at PepsiCo (PEP.O), Target said, adding that he will oversee its financial planning and analysis, finance capabilities, internal audit and corporate development.

The new chief financial officer will join the retailer on Sept. 22 after more than 25 years at the drinks maker, where he most recently served as deputy CFO.
