She is the second top Magna exec to jump to a major retailer, following former Magna Global Managing Partner Brian Monahan, who left in 2013 to become vice president-marketing at Walmart.com.

Argyilan, who was the chief architect of Magna’s advanced audience targeting systems for programmatic audience-buying, will serve as senior vice president-media and guest engagement at Target, effective June 2.

Prior to Magna, Argyilan had held senior positions at other major agencies, including Arnold, Hill Holliday and Goodby, Silverstein & Partners.
