President. Multi-brand menswear & lifestyle apparel portfolio. Future CEO material. This is the kind of role that comes around once in a career and I get to find the person who's going to own it. Here's what makes this special: This company is moving mountains. Major licensing deal extended through 2032. New partnership with a huge sports league. Opening 5 new international retail locations. Fresh Head of Marketing leading a full product relaunch. They're not looking for someone to maintain - they're looking for someone to elevate. What this leader will do: Drive multiple flagship menswear and lifestyle brands across wholesale, off-price, and international markets Open new doors while scaling existing partnerships with some of the biggest names in US Retail Bring heritage brands to a new generation of consumers Lead cross-functional teams but stay laser-focused on sales execution This is the CEO's successor. Sales and business-focused. Someone who doesn't get bogged down in the weeds but drives revenue and opens markets at the highest level. The person who wins this: You've sold into major retailers at a VP or President level. You know how to get brands into new doors and turn existing partnerships into serious growth. You've worked in menswear, lifestyle apparel, or premium licensed brands and you're ready for the role that defines your career. Why I'm sharing this: I've built a network of President and C-suite candidates across apparel, and this is hands down the most exciting search I'll run this year. If you're that person - or you know them -DM me. PS. If you're a brand looking for someone to run searches at this level? Let's talk. This is what I do.

Tory Burch just appointed Joëlle Grunberg as President of North America. This is more than an exec-hire. It's a brand choosing operational excellence over continued expansion. Joëlle's background isn't just luxury retail. It's omnichannel transformation: Partner at McKinsey in retail, fashion & luxury Executive leadership at Wolverine Worldwide, Lacoste, and Galeries Lafayette Deep expertise across retail, e-commerce, and wholesale integration Honestly, this tells you everything about where Tory Burch is heading. They're not opening 50 new stores. They're optimising the 125 they already have in North America. They're not chasing new channels. They're integrating the ones that already exist - retail, e-commerce, wholesale. It's not a hard pivot. It's refinement. It's a pattern across accessible luxury brands right now: The ones scaling sustainably have stopped expanding and started executing. They've moved from "growth at all costs" to "make what we have work better." That means: Elevating the in-store experience Tightening wholesale partnerships Using data to connect digital and physical, not treat them as separate businesses It's the shift from founder-led momentum to operator-led infrastructure. Tory Burch is doing this in their largest market first - North America represents nearly one-third of their global footprint. That's intentional. Consolidate the core. Optimise what's working. Then scale from a position of strength. If your brand has multiple channels already in play but you're still operating like a startup, this is your signal. The next phase isn't about doing more. It's about doing what you're already doing, better. P.S. If you're navigating this shift right now - from expansion mode to operational excellence - happy to share what I'm seeing. DM me.
