Chanel has tapped the human resources chief from Dutch insurer Aegon as the fashion and beauty company continues to reshuffle its top executive roles.

Elisabetta Caldera, 55, has been named global chief people and organization officer for Chanel Ltd., succeeding Claire Isnard, 64, starting next month, the company told Bloomberg News in a statement.

Isnard is retiring after more than 17 years at the group, which had a workforce of around 38,400 employees last year. Caldera will join Chanel’s leadership team, reporting to Chief Executive Officer Leena Nair, and be based in London.

Caldera spent more than four years as global chief human resources officer at Aegon Ltd. where she was also part of the insurer’s executive committee. The Italian executive previously spent 17 years at Vodafone Group Plc in various HR roles until 2021 when she joined Aegon. 

Under CEO Nair, the former head of HR at Unilever Plc, Chanel has been rebuilding the roster of top managers at the company as an older guard retires.

Chanel, known for its No. 5 fragrance, is privately owned by the billionaire brothers Alain and Gerard Wertheimer whose fortunes are estimated at about $43 billion each, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

The company, founded in Paris but headquartered in London, reports its financial performance once a year, generally around late May. Revenue fell 4.3% to $18.7 billion in 2024 on a comparative basis with operating profit sliding by almost a third partly due to heavy advertising spending and a rise in hiring.

Under the agreement, Columbia will outfit athletes and coaches across the Men’s, Women’s, Mixed Doubles, and Wheelchair National Teams, and for the first time, provide replica versions for fans to purchase. 

“Outfitting the United States Curling Team for the Olympic stage is an incredible honor and our teams have worked closely with USA Curling over the past several years to help propel them to the podium in Italy,” said Joe Boyle, president of Columbia Sportswear. 

“The uniforms are a testament to our commitment to these ambassadors – and we’re proud to support these athletes as they compete at the highest level.”

The competition uniforms are designed to reflect both American heritage and the country’s natural landscapes. The dark jerseys feature eight cascading stars in red, white and blue, symbolizing the curling stones used in competition. Each jersey is also adorned with at least 250 stars, a nod to the upcoming 250th anniversary of American independence.

In addition to competition jerseys, pants and hats, Columbia will provide village wear for athletes, including USA-branded parkas. The parkas are insulated with Columbia’s Omni-Heat Infinity technology, and reimagined in a gold star pattern to honor the historic games. 

Fans can shop the USA 2026 collection, which includes a patriotic down jacket, fleece styles, short-sleeve T-shirts, beanies and ball caps, priced from $40 to $300. The collection is now available on Columbia’s website and at select Dick’s Sporting Goods locations, with replica jerseys set to launch online in January.

Iconix to reunite North American brand portfolio

Iconix’s entire brand portfolio and related royalty revenue will once again be fully consolidated within its operating structure, creating a unified brand platform representing approximately $6 billion in global retail sales.

The company announced on Monday that it has completed an upsizing of its existing credit facility with affiliates of Apollo to discharge the company’s securitization financing facility, which has been outstanding since 2012. Iconix expects to complete the transaction by January 2026.

The securitization financing facility was secured by a pledge of North American brand intellectual property and licensing royalties for several of Iconix’s brands, including Ed Hardy, Starter, Danskin, Ocean Pacific, London Fog, Mossimo, Zoo York, Rocawear, and Iconix’s portfolio of home brands.

The retirement of the securitization facility marks a significant milestone in Iconix’s turnaround and resurgence following its take-private transaction in 2021. The company will now be able to pursue strategic alternatives involving the North American rights of its brands, including targeted investments and partnerships that were previously restricted.

“We have always believed that it is extremely important to reunite the North American brand rights under a cohesive operating structure in the US, which is obviously an incredibly influential market for our brands globally,” said Bob Galvin, chief executive officer, Iconix International Inc.

“For the first time in nearly a decade, and since we took over the business with our partners at Lancer Capital, we will have the opportunity to fully exploit all of our brand rights in the most optimal way.”

Since management changes in late 2018, Iconix has executed a significant turnaround, including improving its cost structure, deleveraging its balance sheet, repositioning its global brand portfolio, including acquisitions such as Hoodrich in 2023 and Salt Life in 2024. These efforts have been carried out in partnership with Apollo over the past three years.

“This expanded commitment to Iconix reflects the strong performance of the business and its brands. We’ve worked closely with the management team for several years and are pleased to support this transaction, helping to position Iconix to fully leverage its unified global brand platform,” added Kurt Hoffman, managing director, Apollo.
