(Reuters) -Nordstrom Inc on Wednesday named former Target Corp (NYSE:TGT) CFO Cathy Smith as its new finance chief.

Smith will take over from interim Nordstrom (NYSE:JWN) CFO Michael Maher on May 29.

The U.S. retailer gets its first permanent finance chief since Anne Bramman stepped down in December, a month after the company adopted a "poison pill" to prevent investors from amassing 10% or more of its shares.
