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.

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
