Elie Tahari names CEO

Luxury fashion label Elie Tahari has announced the appointment of Bob Galvin as the

company’s new chief executive officer.

Galvin previously served as president as The Camuto Group, where he played a significant role in its transformation into a diversified branded lifestyle company.

Over the past few months, the Elie Tahari company has undergone a reorganisation with several strategic hires, and Galvin has been brought in to help “strengthen and position” the brands further growth.

Commenting on the appointment, Tahari said: “I am at a point in the business where I need to concentrate on the product, and after 40 years, I know what I am not good at, and I am not good at running a company.

“When I look back at when the company was running the best, it was when it was run by good management, and not by me.”

In his new role, Galvin will oversee wholesale, retail and international sales for both women’s and men’s collections, as well as areas such as accessories, merchandising, marketing, licensing, product development and production.
