PVH has announced leadership updates to its global organisation. Mike Shaffer, chief operating and financial officer, and Cheryl Abel-Hodges, CEO of Calvin Klein, will be leaving PVH in the coming months. PVH, a leading fashion company, connects with consumers in over 40 countries, with iconic brands like Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, and others.

Shaffer will be leaving in September to pursue other opportunities. An external search is underway for a successor CFO, and Shaffer will help to ensure a seamless transition. Abel-Hodges will be moving to an advisory position with effect from July 1, 2021, through February 2022. Trish Donnelly, CEO, PVH Americas, who has had oversight of Calvin Klein, will take full global leadership responsibility for the business, PVH said in a media statement.

“Shaffer has played an important role in shaping the direction of PVH over his 30 plus-year career with the company. As COO and CFO, he helped to expand our brands, including the acquisitions of Tommy Hilfiger in 2010 and Warnaco in 2013, as well as driving investments in infrastructure and operational capabilities. He has also been a strong proponent of our commitment to our industry leadership in aligning corporate responsibility, supply chain and technology. I want to thank Abel-Hodges for her partnership and passion for this brand, and for everything she has done over her almost 15-year career with PVH. As well as her role with Calvin Klein, she made an impact on many areas of the company, including overseeing PVH’s innovative underwear platform, which harnesses the collective power and best practices from across the company’s iconic portfolio of brands” Stefan Larsson, chief executive officer of PVH said in a statement.

“I have had a long and wonderful career with PVH, working with the most talented people in the industry. I know that I am leaving the company in a strong position, having navigated through the complexities of the last year, and now driving forward with an accelerated recovery. I am very proud of the PVH team and wish them every success in the future,” Shaffer said.

“I have loved being part of the PVH family and working with the Calvin Klein brand for the last six years. PVH has provided me with many opportunities to grow as a leader, to work with fantastic people and to be a connector across its businesses. I couldn’t be prouder of the work we’ve done as a team to navigate the events of last year and emerge as a stronger company, well positioned for the future,” Abel-Hodges said.
