Levi Strauss & Co. (LS&Co) has appointed Chris Callieri as its Chief Supply Chain Officer, effective September 15. Callieri brings over 20 years of international supply chain experience to the role, having previously held similar positions at Victoria’s Secret & Co. and Tory Burch. His appointment underscores the company’s commitment to enhancing its global supply chain operations as it navigates ongoing challenges in the retail sector.

Callieri will be responsible for overseeing global supply chain operations, including product development, sourcing, sustainability, and distribution and logistics for the Levi's brand. He will report directly to Levi's President and CEO, Michelle Gass, and join the company’s executive leadership team.

This appointment follows the retirement of Liz O’Neill, who previously held the role of Chief Operations Officer. The new position was created to replace O’Neill's role, reflecting the increasing importance of supply chain management in the current retail landscape [1].

Callieri’s extensive experience includes leading global supply chain operations at Victoria's Secret and Tory Burch. Prior to these roles, he held senior positions at Adidas and HRC Advisory, where he was instrumental in implementing transformational initiatives to enhance supply chain efficiency and product innovation. His appointment comes at a critical time for Levi Strauss, as the company seeks to evolve into a direct-to-consumer (DTC)-first denim lifestyle company [2].

The appointment of Callieri is part of a broader strategy by Levi Strauss to strengthen its supply chain agility, drive innovation, and advance sustainability goals. The company aims to deliver exceptional value to its fans worldwide while navigating challenges such as ongoing tariff uncertainty and recent disruptions in global supply chains [3].

Levi Strauss & Co. owns several brands, including Levi's, Levi Strauss Signature, and Beyond Yoga, operating in 120 countries. The company's first quarter of 2025 saw a 3% increase in net revenues to $1.53bn with net income from continuing operations of $140m.
