Dive Brief:
Following the news of a new CFO at VF Corp. last week, the mystery of where Scott Roe might land was solved on Thursday when Tapestry announced he will be chief financial officer there as of June 1.
Roe was at VF Corp. for 25 years, serving as CFO since 2015, after holding a series of leadership positions in finance, accounting, investor relations and other areas.
Andrea Shaw Resnick, who has been interim CFO since last July, will take the newly created role of chief communications officer, according to a company press release. Vice President of Investor Relations Christina Colone will be promoted to oversee investor relations.
Dive Brief:
Tapestry on Thursday said that Todd Kahn, who has been serving as interim CEO at its Coach brand since last July, has the job permanently, effective immediately.
Kahn took over upon the abrupt departure of Tapestry CEO Jide Zeitlin, who had also been leading Coach. Kahn has been with the company since 2008 in various leadership roles, and will report directly to Tapestry CEO Joanne Crevoiserat.
The decision helps wrap up a period of turmoil for the organization. Even before Zeitlin s exit, Tapestry was shaking up its C-suite amid the challenges presented by the pandemic, with Coach chief Joshua Schulman leaving and new leadership at the Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman labels early last year.
