Puma has named former Unspun CEO Arne Arens chief commercial officer while reshaping its supervisory board following Anta Sports’ acquisition of Artémis’ stake in the German sportswear company.
Arens will join Puma’s management board Nov. 15 and oversee its global commercial organization and marketplace strategy, including sales across all channels and markets.
He brings more than 25 years of sporting goods and outdoor industry experience, including senior roles at Nike, The North Face and Boardriders.
“Arne’s unique skillset combines commercial expertise, consumer insights and brand leadership,” Puma CEO Arthur Hoeld said, adding that Arens will play a role in the company’s effort to become a top-three global sports brand.

Calvin Klein
Calvin Klein has named Lacoste executive Ayub Mohamed chief product officer, putting him in charge of the PVH Corp.-owned brand’s global design and merchandising organization.
Mohamed will join Calvin Klein’s global leadership team Jan. 25 and report to global brand president David Savman. His remit spans global product strategy across categories and regions, including design and merchandising.
He joins from Lacoste, where he served as executive vice president of product and oversaw design, merchandising and development across the company’s global product organization.
Mohamed previously served as chief merchandising officer at Kenzo and held senior positions at Tory Burch and Tory Sport, Donna Karan and DKNY and Givenchy. Earlier in his career, he spent nearly eight years at Levi Strauss & Co., including roles leading men’s design, merchandising and development.
“Ayub is an accomplished global product leader with a deep understanding of how to translate a brand’s creative identity into desirable product that drives both consumer relevance and commercial impact,” said Savman.
Lululemon
Lululemon has appointed former chief product officer Tara Poseley to its board of directors as the activewear company continues to put greater emphasis on product, design and innovation.
Poseley joined the board effective Oct. 19, expanding it to 13 directors, 12 of whom are independent. Her appointment is connected to the cooperation agreement Lululemon entered into with founder Dennis “Chip” Wilson in May.
Poseley previously served as Lululemon’s chief product officer from 2013 to 2015. She most recently led Paula’s Choice Skincare as CEO from 2016 through 2023 and earlier served as senior vice president and president of Kmart Apparel.

“Tara brings deep product expertise and understands what makes Lululemon special,” Wilson said. “Her appointment is another positive step toward strengthening the company’s product-first vision and creating long-term value for shareholders.”
CEO Heidi O’Neill said Poseley’s background across product innovation, brand strategy and operational leadership will support Lululemon as it puts product, design and innovation “at the center” of its next phase.
Deckers Brands
Deckers Brands has appointed The RealReal president and CEO Rati Sahi Levesque to its board of directors, adding retail, technology and merchandising experience as longtime director Lauri Shanahan prepares to retire.
Levesque will join the board Dec. 1 and serve on its audit and risk management committee.
She has spent more than 15 years at The RealReal, joining the luxury resale company as its first employee in 2011 before eventually becoming president and CEO. Deckers cited her experience in digital innovation, consumer engagement, merchandising and brand positioning.
“Rati’s proven ability to translate consumer insights into differentiated experiences and sustainable growth aligns closely with our strategy to build on the strengths of Hoka and Ugg and drive long-term value for shareholders,” Deckers board chair Cindy Davis said.
Shanahan will retire from the board in connection with Levesque’s appointment after more than a decade of service. Director Patrick J. Grismer will join Deckers’ corporate responsibility, sustainability and governance committee following her departure.
FP Movement
FP Movement has named former Nike executive Kylee Clarke its first global head of marketing as the Free People activewear brand expands its retail footprint and global positioning.
Clarke will oversee global brand strategy, marketing and brand experience for the Urban Outfitters Inc.-owned business.
She joins FP Movement after a decade at Nike, where she led North America retail marketing for Sportswear, the New York brand team and Running and Training brand marketing. Most recently, she led sports brand marketing across football, baseball, golf, tennis, the Olympics, leagues and college and NIL initiatives.
Her work at Nike included the Kith x Nike pop-up, openings of the company’s SoHo and House of Innovation stores, marathon activations and Nike’s first NIL program, Blue Ribbon Elite.
Before Nike, Clarke spent five years in global brand management at David Yurman and began her career at Lululemon.
“Her experience leading some of the most iconic marketing moments in recent times in the industry, paired with her deep understanding of community and global brand building, makes her exactly the right leader to shape the next chapter of FP Movement,” said global president Andrea Perez.
Viva Voce
Size-inclusive fashion marketplace Viva Voce has named Good-Loop founder Amy Williams CEO as the company looks to scale its community of independent brands and shoppers.
Williams spent the past decade building responsible advertising platform Good-Loop, expanding the company into more than 20 markets. She remains its founder and serves on the board as a non-executive director.
Before founding Good-Loop, Williams worked at Ogilvy & Mather, where she handled global brand campaigns for Unilever and digital and direct accounts for British Airways.
At Viva Voce, Williams will focus on scaling a marketplace that carries independent labels across sizes S through 6X.
“Viva Voce is doing something rare in fashion, building a community where people actually feel seen,” Williams said. “That kind of trust is incredibly hard to earn and even harder to scale.”
Founder Kate Zigrang said Williams’ experience combining commercial growth with mission-led business made her a fit for the company’s next phase.
Callaway Golf Company
Callaway Golf Company has brought back former marketing chief Harry Arnett as senior vice president and chief brand officer, seven years after he left the golf company.
Arnett previously worked at Callaway from 2012 to 2019 as head of global brand and marketing. In his new role, he will oversee global brand strategy and demand creation, bringing together brand building, creative communications and other consumer-facing functions.
CEO Chip Brewer credited Arnett with helping develop a more consumer-focused marketing approach during his first tenure at Callaway, as the company rebuilt its position in the golf equipment market.
“We are very excited to have Harry return home to his Callaway family,” Brewer said. “Harry brings a rare combination of creative vision, commercial instinct and a deep understanding of the golf consumer.”
Callaway’s current portfolio includes its namesake golf brand as well as Odyssey, TravisMathew and OGIO.
Retail
Asos
Asos has named former Tommy Hilfiger executive Nick Goodchild as AI and creative studios director, putting him in charge of integrating artificial intelligence into the online retailer’s content production and studio operations.
Goodchild will lead AI Studios, a cross-functional program examining how the technology can complement Asos’ existing creative operations and support more personalized shopping experiences. His remit also includes implementing AI across creative content production.
He joins Asos after eight years at PVH Corp.’s Tommy Hilfiger, where he most recently served as vice president of brand transformation and studio. Goodchild also led the brand’s global AI task force, exploring applications for emerging technology across creative and studio operations.
“Nick brings a rare combination of creative leadership, studio expertise and practical experience of using AI to transform content production,” Asos executive vice president of creative Vanessa Spence said.
The appointment comes as Asos invests in its “Stylist” positioning, using content and personalization to help customers discover trends, assemble looks and shop across its own and partner brands.
Revolve
Revolve Group has named Dwyane Wade chief performance officer for Revolve Man and FWRD Man, expanding the former NBA star’s existing relationship with the retailer as it builds its menswear business.
In this role, Wade will serve as a strategic adviser and public face for the two men’s platforms, contributing to product curation, brand building, category expansion, marketing and partnership strategy.
His involvement will also span content, commerce, events and curated product programs, with Revolve positioning the appointment at the intersection of fashion, sports, culture and wellness.
“As we continue investing in the future of our men’s business, we wanted a partner who authentically embodies the intersection of sport, fashion and culture,” co-founder and co-CEO Michael Mente said.
Wade has previously partnered with Revolve Group and will begin appearing across campaigns, content initiatives and brand experiences immediately.
Torrid
Torrid has named former Belk finance chief Will Langley interim chief financial officer as Paula Dempsey prepares to leave the apparel retailer for another opportunity.
Langley’s appointment takes effect Oct. 28. Dempsey will remain CFO through mid-November to support the transition.
Langley spent 20 years at Belk and served as its chief financial officer from January 2020 through May 2025. Earlier positions at the department store included vice president of treasury and finance and director of financial planning and analysis.
Torrid CEO Lisa Harper, who previously worked with Langley, cited his finance experience and strategic work at Belk as qualifications for the role.
Harper also credited Dempsey with helping lead Torrid’s store optimization efforts and strengthening its financial position through capital allocation and expense management.
Technology
Weavabel
Fashion trims and packaging supplier Weavabel has expanded its care-label operation with three hires in China and Portugal as the company responds to rising demand for centralized labeling and compliance services.
Leyla Liu has joined as variable data account manager in China, providing regional support to brands and garment factories. In Portugal, João Melo has been named variable data production manager and Jorge Miguel variable data production specialist.
Melo is Weavabel’s first dedicated care-label production employee in Portugal, marking the company’s move into in-house label production there. Miguel expands that operation to a two-person production team.
The appointments come as Weavabel’s overall care-label team has doubled from four employees in 2025 to eight this year. The company said it produced 3.6 million care labels during the second quarter, compared with roughly 900,000 a year earlier.
Weavabel said demand is being driven in part by brands preparing for evolving European compliance and Digital Product Passport requirements and seeking greater control over labeling across supplier networks. The company has also increased European production capacity, expanded its production-partner network and integrated with Digital Product Passport providers Bombiix and Osapiens.
“A care label can look like the simplest thing on a garment, but there’s a lot going on behind it,” Laetitia Surtees, variable data operations manager, said. “With regulations multiplying, brands want one place to design, approve and order labels that are compliant everywhere they sell.”
Supply Chain
TMX Transform
Supply chain consultancy TMX Transform has named former Home Depot executive Colby Chiles global executive director of supply chain as it expands its business in the Americas.
Chiles will work across TMX’s global client base while helping grow its U.S. supply chain consulting practice, focusing on network design, fulfillment and business transformation.
He brings more than 20 years of supply chain and operations experience, including 17 years at Home Depot. As vice president of supply chain delivery, he led direct-to-customer delivery strategy and operations across digital and physical channels.
Most recently at Home Depot, Chiles served as vice president of Pro Capabilities, leading development of the retailer’s end-to-end experience and business model for professional customers. Earlier roles included network strategy and supply chain real estate planning.
Chiles also previously worked at Accenture and UPS Supply Chain Solutions and most recently advised retail clients in the U.S. and Australia as an independent consultant.
“Retailers are under pressure from both sides right now,” Chiles said. “Customer expectations keep rising while the risks to supply keep multiplying.”
