Capri Holdings, parent company of Michael Kors, has named Joshua Schulman, former Coach CEO and President, as CEO of Michael Kors effective September 2022, reports Reuters. He has also been appointed as the head of the brand, effective immediately, reporting to outgoing Capri CEO John Idol.

“Schulman has a strong track record of driving Coach’s turnaround, and we believe the MK brand and CPRI are poised to benefit from his leadership,” Cowen analyst Oliver Chen said.

Schulman is widely credited for leading the turnaround of the Coach brand, which he led from 2017 to 2020. Idol will transition to executive chairman of Capri next fall.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
