Jimmy Choo names former Dunhill chief as new CFO

Jimmy Choo has appointed Andy Holmes as its new Chief Financial Officer, replacing Richard Kozlowski, who retires from the business at the end of March.

Bringing more than two decades of senior financial leadership across global luxury retail and consumer brands, Holmes previously spent almost seven years at Dunhill, most recently as CEO ad interim and Chief Operating & Financial Officer.

Prior to that he was at Marks & Spencer as Head of Finance, International, for over three years, and before that was at Burberry for almost seven and half years, culminating in the role of VP Finance.

Hannah Colman, CEO, said: “We are delighted to welcome Andy to the leadership team. His extensive financial expertise, commercial acumen, and deep understanding of the luxury market will be invaluable as we continue to deliver on our growth strategy.”

Holmes will work closely with the Jimmy Choo executive team, as well with that of parent company Capri Holdings, playing a key role in shaping the company’s strategic direction.

Last month saw Capri Holdings report “stronger than expected” third quarter results for fiscal year 2026, signalling early momentum in its post-Versace era - having completed the sale of Versace to Prada in December - as the group sharpens its focus on Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors while dramatically reducing debt.

For the three months ending 27 December 2025, the New York-listed luxury group posted revenue of $1.025 billion (£750 million), down 4% year-on-year, but ahead of internal expectations.

Michael Kors continued to feel pressure, with revenue declining 5.6% to $858 million (£625 million), however, Jimmy Choo delivered a return to growth with revenue rising 5% to $167 million (£121 million).

For the full fiscal year 2026, Capri Holdings reiterated guidance for total revenue of approximately $3.45 to $3.475 billion (£2.51 to £2.53 billion).

The group expects Michael Kors to deliver revenue of up to $2.875 billion (£2.09 billion), while Jimmy Choo is forecast to generate between $590 million and $600 million (£430 million and £437 million).
