Levi’s brand president, Jennifer Sey, has left the role. The denim brand has confirmed the departure to Forbes and has said that chief commercial officer, Seth Ellison, will take on the role on an interim basis while it searches for a replacement.

Forbes said public comments from Ms Sey expressing her opposition to school closures as part of efforts to combat covid-19, prompting a negative reaction among many senior colleagues at Levi’s, had led to her resignation.

Ms Sey had worked at Levi’s since 1999.
