Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger parent taps Sephora exec as CFO
Apparel giant PVH Corp. has named a finance veteran to its C-suite.
The parent company of Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger has tapped Alex Rollier as its new chief financial officer. He will join PVH Corp. in early September, and be tasked with leading the global finance organization and overseeing all aspects of the company’s financial operations.
Rollier joins PVH from Sephora, part of the LVMH Group, where he has served as global chief operating officer and global chief financial officer since 2018. In his 14-year tenure with the beauty retailer, Rollier is credited with having played a significant role in scaling the business around the world while improving profitability and operating performance.
Rollier will succeed Melissa Stone, executive VP of Global Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) who has served as interim finance chief since Jan. 1. Stone will continue to lead Global FP&A, reporting to Rollier.
“Alexis is a unique global finance leader, who brings highly relevant expertise across multi-brand and omni-channel retail, deep financial and operational experience, and a strong track record of driving disciplined growth with profit expansion,” said Stefan Larsson, CEO of PVH Corp. “As we continue our journey to build Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger into their full potential, Alexis’s experience connecting consumer-facing strategies with effective financial steering will help drive long-term shareholder value.”

“Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger are two of the most iconic brands in the world, with powerful consumer relevance, and I am energized by the opportunity to join the PVH team at this important stage of the company’s journey,” said Rolllier. “I look forward to working alongside Stefan and the PVH leadership team as we focus on capturing opportunities across our global business, and delivering long-term, sustainable value to our PVH shareholders.”
