Bob Hull and Peter Sachse to continue as Tailored Brands co-CEOs

Tailored Brands, Inc. has announced that board members Bob Hull and Peter Sachse will continue as co-CEOs moving forward to provide continuity to the organisation.

The company said in a release that Hull and Sachse were both appointed as interim co-CEOs and joined the company’s board on March 16, 2021. Since that time, they have solidified a strong and united leadership team, refocused key departments and led the company to outperform its revenue and profit targets for each quarter.

Commenting on the development, board chairman Paul Soldatos stated: “While we had launched a search for a CEO successor last year, we ultimately determined there was more to be gained by maintaining continuity in the leadership team and allowing this team to realise the full value of the careful planning and reorganisation they completed over the past year.”
