NEW YORK Jen Klise, group manager of corporate innovation at Target Corp., has been named jury chair for the inaugural Product of the Year Awards in the U.S.

Klise will lead industry leaders here on Sept. 18 as they review hundreds of brands sold in supermarkets and drugstores vying for the honor of displaying the Product of the Year symbol.

“An award like Product of the Year that focuses on high quality and innovation is a critical element in our saturated consumer marketplace,” said Klise in a statement.

The consumer-voted awards have existed in Europe for more than 20 years, with companies such as PepsiCo, Nestle, Johnson & Johnson and Procter & Gamble competing in categories including skin care, pet food, cereal, hair care, beverage, oral hygiene and household cleaners.
