Sachse expressed immense confidence in Tighe, noting, “The hallmark of a strong and resilient organization is a well-developed succession plan, and John’s promotion highlights the thoughtful, holistic talent strategy Tailored Brands has established.”

“Over the past four years, John has been instrumental in our Company’s ability to anticipate market shifts and evolve with our customers as he architected nuanced merchandising, planning, marketing, and value-driven pricing strategies. There is no doubt he is the right successor at the right time, and I’m excited to see Tailored Brands continue to thrive under his leadership,” Sachse added.

As Tighe takes the helm, he expressed his honour and commitment. “I look forward to Peter’s continued mentorship as he takes on his new role and want to thank the Board, Peter and the entire leadership team for their support and confidence,” he said.
