“John brings a depth of experience in the sports industry to

said Ken Duane, CEO, Heritage Brands and North America Wholesale of
PVH. “He possesses the ideal blend of sales expertise, success in
building strong teams and intuitive sports business sense. We look

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
