Prior to joining Abercrombie & Fitch, she served in a number of senior management roles at Kohl’s including executive vice president of finance and executive vice president of merchandise planning and allocation. Prior to her time with Kohl’s, Crevoiserat held senior finance positions with Wal-Mart Stores and May Department Stores, including chief financial officer of the Filene’s, Foley’s and Famous-Barr brands. She is a summa cum laude graduate of the University of Connecticut where she received a bachelor of science degree in finance. Crevoiserat has served on the board of directors of
At Home group since January 2019.

“After completing a comprehensive internal and external search, the board unanimously concluded that Joanne is the best candidate to lead Tapestry’s next chapter of growth as CEO. Since taking on the role of interim CEO in July, Crevoiserat has led with a customer-centric, data-driven approach, an understanding of the unique needs and advantages of our house of brands and a focus on execution and growth. She has a passion for our brands and our company, deep financial and operational expertise and a belief in the power of our teams. She has been instrumental in setting Tapestry’s strategic agenda and has a clear vision for what is needed to drive our success in the future,” Kropf said.

“I am thrilled to be leading Tapestry, with its three powerful brands, exceptional people and tremendous growth potential. Since joining the company over a year ago, I have been focused on unlocking the power of our talented teams by establishing clear priorities and building a culture of trust and empowerment. I am excited about the opportunities ahead as we execute on our Acceleration Programme, which I am confident will create stronger connections with our customers and fuel long-term growth and improved profitability,” Crevoiserat said.
