Vandemore joins from Skechers, where he served as CFO for nine years, helping grow the company into the world's third-largest footwear brand with revenues exceeding $9 billion.

Vandemore brings over 25 years of finance and operational experience across consumer, retail and entertainment sectors. He succeeds Harmit Singh, who announced his retirement in April 2026.

September 30, 2026, 5:22pm Levi Strauss & Co. has turned to the world of footwear for its next chief financial officer. John Vandemore, who's spent the last nine years as CFO of Skechers USA Inc., will become both executive vice president and CFO at the San Francisco-based denim standby. He starts Nov. 1, taking the financial reins from Harmit Singh, who said in April that he was retiring from the expansive role of executive vice president and chief financial and growth officer. Most of Singh's tenure came during Chip Bergh's run as chief executive officer, when the two led the team that reimagined a wholesale-based men's bottoms supplier as much more of a lifestyle retail brand. The current CEO, Michelle Gass, who came to Levi's from Kohl's Corp., is now working to complete that journey by continuing to build out the retail business, as well as women's and tops. Now she has a new partner in the effort. "We are thrilled to welcome John at a pivotal moment for our company," Gass said. "We are building a more direct-to-consumer business, unlocking the full potential of the Levi's brand and transforming LS&Co. into the world's leading denim lifestyle retailer. John's deep financial, operational and consumer experience, combined with his proven ability to help global brands scale and grow profitably, makes him the ideal partner to help us realize our ambition of becoming a $10 billion company." Levi's, which sells through 3,300 stores and shops-in-shop in 120 countries, racked up revenues of $6.3 billion last year. Vandemore brings more than 25 years of finance experience to the task. During his time at Skechers, he helped grow that company to be the world's third-largest footwear brand, with a presence in over 180 countries and more than 5,000 stores. Skechers' revenues nearly tripled to over $9 billion during his watch. "LS&Co. is an iconic company with an unmatched heritage, a globally renowned brand and a clear strategy that is delivering strong momentum and results," Vandemore said. "I have long admired the Levi's brand and am excited to join Michelle and the team and contribute to strengthening consumer connections, accelerating profitable growth and creating long-term value for all stakeholders." Before joining Skechers, he served as executive vice president and CFO of global brands and commercial sales at Mattel Inc. and spent time at International Game Technology and The Walt Disney Co.

| Fashion's climate push: Clean power becomes a supplier capability. 25 Sep '26 Pic: Generated by ChatGPT Insights. * Levi Strauss & Co. and Marks & Spencer launched the Fashion Renewable Collaborative in New York to help mills and factories access renewable electricity. Cascale's Athens meeting put financing, accountability and business value at the centre of supply-chain transformation. * The platform combines supplier-energy programmes and supports power purchase agreements, certificates, on-site generation. Two developments at major sustainability events this September point in the same direction: fashion is placing greater emphasis on the commercial case for climate action, with suppliers at the centre. On September **, during New York Climate Week, Levi Strauss & Co. and Marks & Spencer launched the Fashion Renewable Collaborative, a platform designed to help mills and factories access renewable electricity. Days earlier in Athens, the Cascale Annual Meeting put financing, accountability and business value at the centre of discussions on supply-chain transformation. Why renewable procurement is becoming a business priority Recent initiatives point to a stronger focus on sustainability measures that can demonstrate business value, with coordinated supplier renewable-electricity procurement emerging as a key example. Suppliers that secure cleaner power can strengthen alignment with brand climate programmes, while those that do not may face greater pressure as buyers focus on measurable progress. The practical test is execution: whether supplier participation moves into procurement contracts, operating projects and measurable emissions reductions. Get Prime for $1 your first week.

Levi's, Marks & Spencer launch a collaborative effort to get fashion suppliers on renewable energy. The Fashion Renewable Collaborative aims to help fashion suppliers transition to renewable energy, a key way to decarbonize the entire industry. When it comes to making the fashion industry more sustainable, there's only so much a brand can change about its own actions. Around 70% of the industry's total emissions come from upstream activities in supply chains, like fiber and fabric production. That means for fashion brands to really meet their climate goals, they have to help their suppliers become more sustainable, too. Now, Levi Strauss & Co. and Marks & Spencer are launching an effort to do just that, called the Fashion Renewable Collaborative. The program, in partnership with Schneider Electric's SE Advisory Services, aims to get multiple brands on board to help fashion suppliers switch to renewable energy - a key step to decarbonizing the apparel sector. Shared supply chains. The Fashion Renewable Collaborative is similar to a program Levi's launched itself last year, called Levi Energy Accelerator Program, or LEAP. Also in partnership with Schneider Electric, LEAP focused on helping the brand's garment manufacturers in India learn about and access resources for renewable energy procurement. Levi's soon learned that British retailer Marks & Spencer was doing something similar through a program called Re: Spark. That sparked a realization for Jennifer DuBuisson, Levi's senior director of sustainability. "We can each continue to keep doing this on our own, but at the end of the day, we have shared supply chains," she says. "Suppliers are already facing such fragmentation from different brands."
