Tommy John has announced the appointment of the company’s new Chief Executive Officer, Cheryl Abel-Hodges who previously held the role of CEO at Calvin Klein, bringing nearly three decades of expertise in the fashion world to her new position.
Abel-Hodges steps into her role at a pivotal moment for Tommy John, with the brand having doubled its wholesale presence since 2022 and poised to increase its retail footprint by 40 per cent by year-end.
Her strategic leadership will focus on further enhancing wholesale efforts, introducing comfortable product innovations, and guiding the brand toward future growth and evolution.
This appointment follows Tommy John’s strategic partnership with LNK Partners in 2022, where industry luminaries Manny Chirico and David Landau joined the company’s Board of Directors.
Cheryl Abel-Hodges said, “I’ve closely followed Tommy John over the years and am deeply impressed with the unique brand voice, product, and consumer brand loyalists. Alongside Tom, Erin and the incredible Tommy John team, I’m so excited to lead the next chapter of growth, evolution and innovation.”
