Tailored Brands, Inc., an omnichannel specialty retailer of menswear, announced the appointment of Julie B. Rosen and Lewis L. (Lee) Bird, III, as members of its Board of Directors, effective March 2025. Rosen and Bird collectively bring nearly seven decades of retail and business experience to the Board as it charts its next growth phase.
Separately, Bob Hull is stepping away from his role as executive chairman of the Tailored Brands’ Board. As part of its succession plan, Sean Mahoney, Board Member and chair of the retailer’s Nominating and Governance Committee, will succeed Hull as chairman, effective May 3, 2025.
Rosen’s career spans over three decades, during which she has held leadership roles at The Gap, Inc., Ann, Inc. and Bath & Body Works, Inc. Over the past eight years, she has served as president with overall P&L responsibility for multiple companies, bringing extensive experience in business strategy, brand development and operational leadership, adding value for its stakeholders. Rosen’s deep expertise will “play a critical role in shaping merchandising strategy, brand partnerships and broader business initiatives,” said Tailored Brands in a media release.
Bird’s career spans over 35 years. Most recently, he was the chairman and chief executive officer for At Home Group, Inc., a home decor retailer. Before At Home, he was the managing director/consumer practice leader of The Gores Group, a global private equity firm; group president of Nike Affiliates for Nike, Inc.; chief operating officer of Gap; and chief financial officer of Old Navy.
“The addition of Julie and Lee underscores Tailored Brands’ continued momentum and focus on the future, and I am confident their combined talent and expertise will help inform strategies to accelerate revenue growth and profitability,” said Hull.
“The Board has never been stronger, and with Sean taking on an expanded role as chairman, I am confident we have the right combination of institutional expertise and fresh thinking to chart the path forward. I look forward to watching all this team continues to achieve as I transition away from this great company,” continued Hull.
Mahoney shared, “Over the past four years, Bob has been a high-impact leader and collaborator — and our Board is grateful for his important contributions to our company’s strategy, operational excellence and culture. I look forward to working closely with our current and new directors — as well as our incredible Tailored Brands team — in this next chapter as we continue to expand and elevate the ways we help our customers look and feel their best.”
Peter Sachse, CEO of Tailored Brands, added, “The company wouldn’t have realized such a successful transformation over the past four years or be positioned as well for future success without Bob’s contributions on the Board and as Co-CEO of the company. I want to thank him for his partnership and leadership. On behalf of our entire team, we wish him all the best as he embarks on his next chapter and thank him for his commitment to ensuring a smooth transition to this new era of Board leadership.”
