PVH Corp announced Julie Fuller, NIKE, Inc.’s Vice President of Global Talent and Organizational Effectiveness, will join the company next month and assume the role of Chief Human Resources Officer on Jan. 1, 2021. Dave Kozel will transition out of his role as EVP, Chief Human Resources Officer, at the end of the year and serve in an advisory capacity through 2021.

“As we continue to accelerate our efforts to win with the consumer and drive fashion forward for good, we must continue the evolution of our HR strategy to support our brands and the strategic direction of PVH,” said Stefan Larsson, President.  

In addition to six years at Nike, where she also led HR for North America, Fuller held key HR leadership positions at both Avon and PepsiCo.

“I am thrilled to join PVH, a company grounded in some of the world’s most iconic brands and with so many exciting opportunities ahead. Its people-first culture is an important part of its foundation, and I feel honored to be part of the team that will take PVH forward,” said Fuller.

Kozel will retire from PVH at the end of 2021 after more than 18 years, overseeing the workforce transition as the company grew from 9,000 North American associates to almost 40,000 global associates and into its position as one of the world’s largest apparel companies. He joined in 2003 immediately after the acquisition of Calvin Klein, leading the HR integration, and he was an integral part of the later acquisitions of Tommy Hilfiger and Warnaco.
