Macy’s named Thomas Edwards as its new Chief Financial Officer to strengthen financial discipline and improve operational efficiency as part of its Bold New Chapter strategy. Edwards will assume the dual role of CFO and Chief Operating Officer on June 22, succeeding Adrian Mitchell, who will remain through June 21 to ensure a smooth handover. Edwards brings nearly four decades of leadership experience across retail, consumer goods, and hospitality. Most recently, he held the same dual role at Capri Holdings, where he oversaw finance, IT, and supply chain operations. His track record includes leading the integration of Versace and Jimmy Choo, implementing a global ERP system, and delivering cost efficiencies across brands and regions.
Macy’s made the CFO transition a central move in its broader leadership realignment. CEO Tony Spring said, “With these changes, we complete a purposeful evolution of the Macy’s, Inc. leadership team and I am confident that we have the right talent to support the return of Macy’s, Inc. to enterprise growth.” These leadership changes build on a series of recent executive appointments across IT, marketing, legal, customer experience, and merchandising. With Edwards at the financial helm, Macy’s is doubling down on disciplined execution and strategic alignment as it works to deliver on its Q1 2025 guidance and long-term financial goals.
