Speedo USA, a division of PVH Corp. (NYSE: PVH), named John Graham as the new president of the division, effective immediately. Graham previously was Speedo USA’s senior vice president, sales.
Prior to joining Speedo USA, Graham (pictured right) spent two years as the SVP of sales for surf and snowboarding apparel brand Quiksilver. In this role, he focused on e-commerce and wholesale sales in North America, and oversaw a 160-person sales, operations and customer service team.
“Speedo is one of the most respected brands in the industry, deeply rooted in its heritage but poised for continued success in and around the water, and in the marketplace,” said Graham. “I am honored to lead Speedo USA, and look forward to what’s ahead.”
Graham also previously worked with Easton Bell Sports – later sold to Bauer Performance Sports – as its SVP of commerce for two years, leading sales and customer service, and successfully supporting new brand positions for its baseball and hockey businesses.
Graham began his career at Nike, where he took on numerous strategic, sales-driven roles in several countries over his 18-year tenure with the company. He left Nike as its commercial director for Nike Action Sports – at the time, the company’s fastest-growing line – after two years as the director of apparel sales for North America.
