PVH Brands Australia CEO Craig Barnett retires after 25 years steering Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger
Barnett exits PVH's Australian arm after a 40-year apparel run that took the local Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger and Van Heusen business through a 2014 JV and 2019 PVH Corp buyout. Succession will test continuity at a unit of a parent posting $2.5B+ in Q4 FY25 revenue.
Craig Barnett is retiring as CEO of PVH Brands Australia after 25 years, ending a 40-year apparel career. PVH Australia operates Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger and Van Heusen; parent PVH Corp posted over $2.5 billion in Q4 FY25 revenue.
Why this matters
Barnett's exit removes the architect of PVH's Australian build-out, from the 2014 JV through the 2019 PVH Corp buyout. Succession will test continuity for Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger and Van Heusen in a key APAC market.
Leadership signals steady at 36 in the last 90 days, keeping CEO transitions a recurring sector storyline.
