During his time at Tapestry, Jide Zeitlin's stock holdings showed notable fluctuations. He held a significant position, with values peaking around January 2021, when his holdings reached approximately $8.12 million. This was part of a general upward trend following his appointment, where his investments rose over time, indicating his confidence in the company's growth strategy. However, by late 2023, the value had tapered down to about $5.99 million, which reflects the typical volatility in the market, particularly in the luxury goods sector where Tapestry competes. From late 2019 when he began his tenure, the fluctuations were quite pronounced, highlighting both opportunities and challenges faced by the company in the retail landscape.
