Secor, a finance executive with a wealth of experience in the apparel industry, was the CFO of Guess from 2006 to 2012 and has held numerous CFO positions in a variety of industries. During this transitional period, he will serve as the finance team's leader, with Neubrand remaining until September to guarantee a seamless transition. The organization has initiated a search for a permanent chief financial officer, who is anticipated to be stationed at its headquarters in Lugano, Switzerland.
