In addition to overseeing fundamental HR functions, she will also be responsible for translating business strategies into “people plans” and overseeing the inclusion and diversity strategy.

“Our people and culture are our most critical assets, and we’re thrilled to add Tammy to our executive team to continue to evolve these efforts as we enter a new phase of growth.”

Heller succeeds Scott Shoener, who will retire at the end of December after more than 35 years of with VF and Kontoor’s HR departments.

“Scott started his career with our organisation as an intern and is ending it as a member of our C-Suite for Kontoor. There are many highlights from his three-plus decades with the company, but most notably he was the driving force behind establishing and strengthening Kontoor’s culture upon our separation from our former parent company,” added Mr Baxter.
