Reed Krakoff, President and Executive Creative Director, added, "Our
stores are our most important point of engagement with our customers -
they allow us to showcase the world of Coach in its fullest expression.
Both Zach and Erin have extensive and successful track records of
creating impactful consumer experiences that will be instrumental in
bringing our stores to the next level.”
The company appointed Sandra Hill, EVP Women’s Design who joined Coach
