Hammitt promoted his CFO Ryan Meyer to CEO. The company thus recognizes its services in the restructuring of the brand. He initiated a comprehensive change by building a leadership team with top -class experience. He also initiated a return to the basic values of the brand, which now leads to strong, expansive growth.

She worked for Warner Brothers, the BCBGMaxazria Group and headed her own consulting firm. Most recently was the global financial controller at the Australian fashion brand Princess Polly.
“This is not just a change of management – it is a rebirth,” said Meyer in a statement. “Hammitt has always had heart and tradition. What we are now introducing are structure, strategy and scaling. Jenn, Kelvin and I are here to lead a transformation for the next generation – and we have just started.”
Hammitt adds that the strengthening of the management team follows for several years of constant profitability and restructuring behind the scenes.
