Tommy Hilfiger parent names taps H&M vet to head up supply chain

Another H&M veteran has joined the C-suite at PVH Corp.

The parent company of Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein has named David Savman as executive VP and chief supply chain officer. He succeeds Sarah Clarke, who is leaving PVH as of October 31, 2022, to pursue other interests.

Savman will join PVH in late 2022 from H&M Group where he spent 19 years, most recently as head of global supply chain.   He will be responsible for the global supply chain and sourcing strategy for PVH’s iconic global brands and will report to CEO Stefan Larsson. Larsson, who took the reins of PVH in February 2021, started his career at H&M, where he spent 15 years and expanded the company’s operations from 12 to 44 countries.

At H&M Group, Savman led all sourcing, procurement and warehouse operations and managed an organization across over 80 countries. He previously managed key functions including supply chain, production, and purchasing, and worked in several international markets across Asia and Europe.

“David is a world-class supply chain executive who has deep experience and expertise in our sector, gained through many years of leadership in critical areas where we see opportunity,” Larsson stated. With his proven ability to simplify complexity, strong ability to create value through a demand and data-driven value chain, deep experience in international markets and commitment to sustainability, he will play an important role driving our PVH+ plan forward.”

Savman said, “PVH has incredibly powerful and compelling global brands and a clear strategy in place. I am excited to be joining at this pivotal time for the company, and will be focused on pursing opportunities to add significant value and make lasting, positive contributions to deliver on the PVH+ plan. I look forward to supporting Stefan and the entire PVH team to deliver sustainable long-term growth.”
