Tommy Hilfiger appoints ex-Gap executive as the new Chief Marketing Officer.
In a significant move for Tommy Hilfiger, the global clothing brand, Alegra O'Hare has been appointed as the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) of Tommy Hilfiger Global, effective from April 12.
O'Hare, who previously held the position of CMO at Gap Inc., brings a wealth of experience in growing global consumer relevance and business to her new role. Her expertise in implementing world-class creative, digital, and omnichannel marketing strategies is expected to be instrumental in shaping Tommy Hilfiger's future brand vision.
Prior to her tenure at Gap, O'Hare has worked at various consumer brands, including Adidas, where she oversaw high-profile collaborations with celebrities like Pharrell Williams and Childish Gambino. Her diverse background and proven track record make her an ideal candidate for this role.
The appointment comes at a transitional time for both Tommy Hilfiger and its parent company, PVH, following the departure of the latter's CEO, Manny Chirico, and the Tommy Hilfiger CEO last June. Stefan Larsson, the current CEO of PVH, expressed his confidence in O'Hare's abilities, stating that her appointment is a crucial step in the company's new era.
Avery Baker, president and chief brand officer of Tommy Hilfiger Global, shared similar sentiments, considering O'Hare's appointment as a significant milestone. Baker believes that O'Hare's strategic approach and innovative marketing strategies will be key to the company's continued success and international expansion.
O'Hare, in her new position, will manage international marketing strategies for Tommy Hilfiger, with a focus on customer retention and connecting with shoppers in an evolving consumer landscape. She expressed her excitement about the opportunity to work with Tommy Hilfiger's marketing team and contribute to the brand's growth.
It's worth noting that the planned spinoff of Old Navy by Gap Inc. was cancelled, which could have implications for the future direction of both Gap and Tommy Hilfiger. However, with O'Hare's appointment, Tommy Hilfiger is poised to continue its growth trajectory, building on its successful marketing strategy that has been instrumental in its international expansion.
