Leadership History

PVH: CEO History

2 leaders · Full leadership timeline

Company Overview

PVH traces its roots to the Phillips-Van Heusen shirt business and is now centered on Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger. The company operates through wholesale, owned retail, digital commerce, concessions, and licensing. The latest audited year shows $8.950B in FY2025 revenue, $25.3M in GAAP net income, $553.2M in non-GAAP net income, and approximately 26,000 associates. Q1 2026 added a mixed but useful update: revenue beat guidance, DTC grew, and management lowered full-year revenue expectations to approximately flat because of EMEA pressure while holding margin guidance.

PVH makes money through wholesale sales, owned retail stores, outlet stores, digital commerce, shop-in-shop and concession locations, and licensing tied primarily to Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger. The company sells apparel, underwear, denim, accessories, footwear, and related categories across more than 40 countries. The economics depend on brand heat, product relevance, channel mix, gross margin, inventory discipline, marketing productivity, regional demand, tariffs, and licensing income. PVH is using the PVH+ Plan to concentrate investment behind its two global priority brands while simplifying operations and reallocating capital.
