Gap exec joining parent company of Men’s Wearhouse

The new year will bring a new finance chief to Tailored Brands.



The retailer, whose banners include Men’s Wearhouse and Jos. A. Bank, announced the appointment of Jack Calandra as executive VP, CFO and treasurer, effective January 3, 2017. Calandra joins Tailored Brands from Gap Inc., where he was most recently senior VP, corporate finance and investor relations. His career at Gap spanned more than ten years and included roles as CFO of the Banana Republic Global division and CFO of Gap Direct, where he played a key role in the acquisition of Athleta.



Prior to joining Gap, Calandra served 11 years at Unilever's North America Division.



Calandra succeeds Tailored Brand's current CFO, Jon Kimmins, who will be leaving to pursue other interests. He will remain with the company through the end of this calendar year and will assist with Calandra's transition through March 2017.



"I am excited to join the team at Tailored Brands at this important inflection point for the business," said Calandra. "As the largest men's specialty retailer of tailored clothing in the U.S. and Canada, we have an amazing platform and I am looking forward to supporting our growth through disciplined financial management."
