  • Delivering proof points for the Kate Spade turnaround.
  • Executing shareholder returns post-Capri termination.
  • Sustaining Coach’s momentum against tough comparisons.
  • Mitigating $160M tariff impact to protect margins.

Question #1

Given Crevoiserat’s singular success revitalizing Coach versus the persistent struggles at Kate Spade, does she balance applying her proven operational playbook with empowering distinct brand leadership, or does her conviction in a single formula limit the autonomy needed for a diverse portfolio?

Question #2

Reflecting on the failed Capri acquisition, does Crevoiserat’s ambition for transformative M&A cause her to underestimate significant regulatory and integration risks, or was this an isolated misjudgment in an otherwise disciplined approach to capital allocation?
