Coach taps former Saks exec as new finance head

Coach announced the appointment of Kevin G. Wills as CFO, effective no later than March 2017.



Wills joins the upscale specialty retailer from AlixPartners LLP, a global business advisory firm, where he has served as managing director and CFO since March 2014.



Prior to AlixPartners, Wills was executive VP and CFO of Saks Inc. where he worked for nearly 16 years in various finance, strategic-planning, administration and operations positions. He also played an instrumental role in Saks’ sale to Hudson’s Bay Company.



Wills replaces Jane Nielsen, who departed from Coach in August 2016. Andrea Shaw Resnick, who has held the position of Interim CFO since that time, will continue as global head of investor relations and corporate communications.
