PVH Corp., the parent company of Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein, has named Patricia Gabriel as its new chief supply chain officer and global head of operations, effective in the fourth quarter.
Gabriel succeeds David Savman, who will now focus fully on his role as global brand president of Calvin Klein after holding both positions since the spring.
A veteran of more than 25 years in supply chain and operations management, Gabriel joins PVH from Capri Holdings, where she served as chief supply chain officer overseeing Michael Kors, Jimmy Choo and Versace.
Her earlier career includes leadership roles at Mondelez International and AB InBev, where she managed global supply, manufacturing, and logistics operations.
“Patricia is a consumer-focused supply chain and operations leader with a strong track record of fueling growth through consumer-centric operational excellence,” said Stefan Larsson, CEO of PVH Corp.
“As we execute our multi-year journey to build Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger into the most desirable lifestyle brands in the world, Patricia’s deep expertise and proven ability to unlock value through demand- and data-driven solutions will create new opportunities to further accelerate our PVH+ Plan progress.”
In her new role, Gabriel will oversee PVH’s global operations with full end-to-end responsibility “from product to consumer.”
“In Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, PVH has two of the most iconic and globally beloved brands, and I’m incredibly excited to join at this important moment in the company’s growth journey,” Gabriel said.
“Operational excellence and supply chain optimization will be true competitive advantages that fuel growth and innovation.”
