After working four years as EMEA vice-president of finance at Ralph Lauren, Kevin Drew Gotthard left the US fashion group last June. He has joined the Neiman Marcus group as senior vice-president finance.

Gotthard was based at the US group’s European headquarters in Switzerland since 2010, and was appointed vice-president finance EMEA in 2015.

Ralph Lauren did not indicate that a successor to Gotthard has been appointed.

In May, the group published its revenue result for the 2018-19 financial year, up 3% at constant exchange rates compared to the previous year, reaching $6.3 billion. The result was driven by strong performances in Asia (up 13%) and Europe (up 6%). The US domestic market instead recorded a 1% revenue decline.
