Patricia Gabriel is trading in her Michael Kors and Jimmy Choos for some Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger.  

PVH Corp., which owns both Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein, has hired Gabriel out of Capri Holdings to become its chief supply chain officer and global head of operations.

She takes over the role from David Savman, who’s been pulling double duty since becoming global brand president of Calvin Klein in May. 

Gabriel, who has worked for more than 25 years in consumer supply chains at the likes of Mondelez International and AB InBev, is currently chief supply chain officer for the Capri brands Michael Kors, Jimmy Choo and Versace. That job is set to get a little smaller soon as Prada is due to complete its 1.25 billion euro deal to buy Versace soon. 

“Patricia is a consumer-focused supply chain and operations leader with a strong track record of fueling growth through consumer-centric operational excellence,” said , chief executive officer of PVH. “As we execute our multiyear 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.”

Gabriel will oversee PVH’s global operations and bear responsibility “from product to consumer.” 

“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,” she said. “Operational excellence and supply chain optimization will be true competitive advantages that fuel growth and innovation.”

Gabriel will start at the company’s New York headquarters in the fourth quarter and report directly to the CEO. 

Larsson has been busy reorienting PVH so that it is focused on taking full advantage of Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein’s potential and recently nudged up the company’s revenue forecast. 

In addition to more high profile marketing campaigns which seek to both connect the brands with culture and emphasize iconic hero products, PVH has also been working to build a more nimble supply chain to match its changes on the front end.
