Target's new CEO, 55-year-old Brian Cornell, takes over today. The former PepsiCo executive is the first outsider to lead the retailer.

Cornell will replace Gregg Steinhafel, who was ousted in May. He'll take over the company as it faces many challenges, including a troubled expansion into Canada and fallout from a massive data breach.

What's the best way forward for Target? In what direction is CEO Brian Cornell likely to take the company?
