Levi Strauss & Co. has appointed John Vandemore, a finance leader with more than 25 years of consumer industry experience and former Skechers CFO, as its new Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Vandemore succeeds Harmit Singh, whose planned retirement and transition to Special Advisor runs through November 30, 2026. Vandemore's broad remit across finance, supply chain, digital, and IT at prior employers could influence how Levi Strauss prioritizes growth investments, cost control, and data-driven decision-making. The hire follows management's July decision to lift full year 2026 revenue growth guidance to 7.0% to 7.5%, while also raising the dividend twice this year. Levi Strauss' narrative projects $7.7 billion revenue and $839.5 million earnings by 2029, with a $28.20 fair value implying 42% upside to its current price.
