Elaine has become a trusted and valued apparel executive search partner to me here at the Limited, and prior to that at Brooks Brothers. She brings her deep knowledge of the retail industry and a strong network within the retail community. She has personal insights on all of the candidates that she brings forward which plays a crucial part in helping to ensure the right fit for leadership roles.
Parent company Tapestry Inc. said Thursday that Todd Kahn is now the permanent chief executive officer and Coach brand president, effective immediately. Kahn has been acting as interim CEO of the apparel, accessories and footwear brand since last July. But the search for a permanent leader at Coach began even before that, in early 2020, when former Coach CEO and brand president Joshua Schulman departed.
