I oversee the go-to-market execution for VF brands across all global markets through direct-to-consumer, wholesale, demand planning, product planning and execution, marketplace merchandising, local product creation, and local marketing initiatives. Previously, I served as President of the company’s Americas region, leading the go-to-market execution and growth strategies for all brands within the Americas region, and I served as VF’s Chief People Officer and was responsible for leading the company’s Global Human Resource function, including its global People Strategy – a purpose-driven and strategically-aligned approach across talent, organization, culture, engagement, and performance management. Before joining VF, I served as President and Chief People Officer at Salesforce for nearly four years and helped earn the company top spots on best workplace lists, including Great Place to Work, Fortune, People, Glassdoor, and LinkedIn. Before joining Salesforce, I spent almost 30 years in retail, including 15 years at Gap Inc. where I last served as Chief Human Resources Officer responsible for all human resources efforts, communications, security, Gap Inc Foundation, and sustainability worldwide. Previously, I was Global Chief Operating Officer of the Gap brand and led Gap Japan as its Representative Director and General Manager. I held other operating roles and responsibilities focused on stores and store operations at the Target Corporation, Best Buy and across Gap Inc. and its multiple brands.
