About PVH Corp.
PVH is one of the most admired fashion and lifestyle companies in the world.
We power brands that drive fashion forward - for good.
Our brand portfolio includes the iconic CALVIN KLEIN and TOMMY HILFIGER. We market a variety of goods under these and other nationally and internationally known owned and licensed brands. PVH has over 40,000 associates operating in over 40 countries and $9.9 billion in annual revenues. That's the Power of Us. That's the Power of PVH.

The Department and Team.
The Technology department is a key enabler of the PVH mission to redefine the fashion industry for good. Its own vision is to become disruptive technology champions who accelerate world-changing fashion. 

To drive the digital strategy, internal business optimization and agile practices, we created an Agile Center of Excellence (ACE) that helps embed an agile mindset within the company.

ACE is a dedicated team of Agile Coaches who identify, collect, and share best practices to provide teams with a collection of tools to aid in their journey towards becoming high-performing autonomous teams, that deliver true value to the customer in a speedy manner. 

They educate the organization in what it means to be an agile business and leadership in what it means to be a servant leader in an agile organization.
