Fred Gehring is the former CEO of Tommy Hilfiger and served as CEO of PVH Europe. With a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the University of Amsterdam, he has a solid foundation in business management. Under his leadership, PVH made significant strides internationally, particularly with Tommy Hilfiger's brand. He had a unique role overseeing not just the Tommy Hilfiger brand but also the Calvin Klein business in Europe. In 2014, he transitioned to a part-time role, becoming the Chairman of Tommy Hilfiger and Vice Chairman of PVH Corp., which illustrates a progressive approach to leadership and succession planning. In 2013, during his tenure, his total compensation reached over €19.5 million, driven by performance-based bonuses that showed strong alignment with company success. Gehring has made headlines with substantial insider trading activities, registering stock sales nearly every month in recent years, indicating he strategically managed his holdings throughout his career. This demonstrates his focused approach to maximizing personal gain while leading a major global brand.
