Fashion career profile
Joshua Schulman
Joshua Schulman is an American retail and luxury executive and Chief Executive Officer of Burberry. He joined Burberry in July 2024 after leading Michael Kors and Coach, where he also held the Brand President mandate. Earlier senior roles included leadership at Jimmy Choo, Bergdorf Goodman, Yves Saint Laurent and Gucci. This record treats each organisation as a separate, dated position: his former Coach and Michael Kors roles are not represented as current brand leadership, and his Burberry role is linked to the British house from its effective appointment date. Schulman’s profile focuses on operating and commercial leadership, not on fashion design authorship, and does not use a group’s reported financial results as evidence of performance at any individual brand. It keeps earlier retail positions visible as career context.
