Levi Strauss CFO to Step Down after Leading Company Transformations

Levi Strauss said Chief Financial & Growth Officer Harmit Singh will stay in the role until a successor is named, then move into a special adviser position before retiring. The company has started a search with an executive search firm.

Singh has been with Levi Strauss since 2013, when he joined as chief financial officer. His remit later expanded in 2023 to include chief growth officer.

The company said Singh helped steer several major changes over his 13 years, including taking Levi Strauss public, shifting the business toward a direct-to-consumer model, and strengthening its financial structure. Levi Strauss also said he helped advance global real estate, franchise expansion and talent hubs.

Michelle Gass, the company’s president and chief executive, said Singh played an important role in the company’s transformation and that the finance team he built leaves Levi Strauss “well-positioned” for a transition.

Singh said the company has evolved into a more diversified, global, direct-to-consumer business and that he is confident in its momentum.

Levi Strauss said reported 2025 net revenues were $6.3 billion. The market has reacted to these announcements by moving the company's shares -0.97% to a price of $18.30. If you want to know more, read the company's complete 8-K report here.
