PVH appoints former Sephora Global COO as CFO
PVH, parent company of Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, has appointed Sephora’s former Global Chief Operating Officer Alexis Rollier as its new CFO, bringing more than 30 years of finance and retail experience to the fashion group.
Rollier announced on LinkedIn that after 14 years with Sephora, the last eight of which he spent in the position of COO, and 20 years with LVMH, the time had come for a "new chapter".
This will see him joining PVH in September 2026 as CFO, succeeding Melissa Stone, who has served as Interim CFO since the beginning of the year.
Sephora has not yet announced a replacement for Rollier.
Rollier expressed his gratitude for having been part of Sephora's "exceptional growth and transformation" over the last decade, sharing on LinkedIn: "Throughout my journey at Sephora - from CFO of the Americas, then CFO of Europe and the Middle East, and finally Global COO, I have learned invaluable lessons about leadership, transformation and customer obsession.
"Over the past eight years, serving as Global COO, I had the unique opportunity to build and strengthen Global Finance, Strategy, Supply Chain, Technology, Legal and Procurement functions to support the company’s continued expansion and operational excellence."
Earlier in his career, he also served as Global Chief Financial Officer at Guerlain and held senior finance roles at Kingfisher and LVMH. He started his career at Arthur Andersen and earned his MBA at ESSEC Business School.
He is now taking his more than 30 years of experience to a new role as CFO at PVH.
PVH Chief Executive Officer Stefan Larsson described Rollier as “a unique global finance leader”, citing his experience in multi-brand retail and his record of combining disciplined growth with profit expansion.
The appointment gives PVH a permanent CFO to work alongside Larsson and the wider leadership team.
PVH ranks among the world’s largest fashion companies and has operations in more than 40 countries. Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger sit at the heart of its portfolio and are central to the group’s international growth strategy.
The group is using the PVH+ Plan to strengthen the brands’ consumer positioning and improve financial performance. Rollier’s appointment places an executive with direct retail operations experience at the head of its finance function as that work continues.
Rollier said: “Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger are two of the most iconic brands in the world, with powerful consumer relevance, and I am energized by the opportunity to join the PVH team at this important stage of the company’s journey.”
He said he would work with Larsson and PVH’s leadership team to pursue opportunities across the group’s global business and deliver sustainable, long-term value to shareholders.
PVH cut its full-year 2026 revenue outlook in June, citing the impact of the Iran crisis. In its latest earnings report, the company said that it was expecting sales to be “slightly down” on a constant-currency basis, reversing earlier guidance published on 31 March that sales would be “flat to slightly up”.
Larsson had commented in March that PVH was entering 2026 with “positive momentum”, expecting direct-to-consumer growth for both brands across all regions. He pointed to “positive” autumn wholesale orders in Europe as a signal of underlying strength.
Just over two months later, the impact of the conflict in Iran had notably increased, with PVH saying that the war was weighing on consumer demand across its EMEA segment while also inflating logistics and fuel costs across its supply chain.
