PVH Corp., the parent company of Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, has appointed Patricia Gabriel as its new Chief Supply Chain Officer and Global Head of Operations, marking a significant leadership reshuffle at the New York-based fashion conglomerate.
Gabriel will succeed David Savman, who will now focus on his position as Global Brand President, Calvin Klein. She is set to join PVH in the fourth quarter of 2025 and will report directly to Stefan Larsson, Chief Executive Officer of PVH Corp., from the company’s New York City headquarters.
In her new capacity, Gabriel will oversee PVH’s global operations spanning the entire value chain — from product to consumer — working closely with brand, regional, and functional teams to strengthen operational efficiency and drive growth.
Gabriel stated that PVH’s portfolio includes “two of the most iconic and globally beloved brands,” referring to Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger. She expressed enthusiasm about joining the company “at an important moment in its growth journey,” adding that operational excellence and supply chain optimisation would serve as key competitive advantages to fuel growth and innovation.
A veteran in supply chain and operations management, Gabriel brings over 25 years of international experience across manufacturing, logistics, and fulfilment. She previously served as Chief Supply Chain Officer at Capri Holdings, overseeing operations for Michael Kors, Jimmy Choo, and Versace. Before that, she held senior roles at Mondelez International and AB InBev, leading supply chain optimisation and network design across Europe, North America, Latin America, and Asia.
Larsson described Gabriel as “a consumer-focused supply chain and operations leader with a strong track record of driving growth through consumer-centric operational excellence.” He said her deep expertise and data-driven approach would play a crucial role in advancing PVH’s strategic PVH+ Plan, which aims to make Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger “the most desirable lifestyle brands in the world.”
The leadership changes come as PVH reported a solid second quarter performance. For the quarter ended 3rd August, Calvin Klein’s revenue rose 5% year-on-year to US $ 980 million, while Tommy Hilfiger’s sales increased 4% to US $ 1.1 billion, both exceeding market expectations.
Growth was strongest in the Americas, where sales surged 11%, while revenue in the Europe region — PVH’s largest market — rose 3%. The Asia Pacific business saw a 1% decline, which the company attributed to a “challenging consumer environment” in China and other parts of the region.
