Baker, who continues as chief marketing officer, will add the title of chief brand officer. Sheinbaum, chief executive officer, North America, will become ceo of Tommy Hilfiger Americas.
Both executives, whose roles are effective immediately, report to Daniel Grieder, ceo of Tommy Hilfiger and ceo, PVH Europe.
Baker’s appointment reflects PVH’s increased focus on the global alignment, evolution and elevation of the Tommy Hilfiger brand. Her role will be to improve the group’s worldwide coordination across its product divisions, retail channels and geographic markets, as well as its brand message internationally.
