We believe that difference sparks brilliance and are building a culture where all our employees can be their authentic selves.

He brings to Tapestry over 20 years of experience in strategic EI&D work and is widely recognized as an expert in the field. David’s passion for EI&D will be invaluable as we build on the strong foundation and inclusive culture already in place.”

Mr. Casey joins Tapestry from CVS Health, where, as Senior Vice President, Workforce Strategies and Chief Diversity Officer, he was accountable for strategic diversity management and workforce initiatives. He also served as the president of the CVS Health Employee Relief Fund, a public charity. Previously, Mr. Casey served as the Vice President, Workplace Culture and Chief Diversity Officer at Anthem, where he led the development and implementation of enterprise-wide workplace and diversity management strategies.

Mr. Casey has served and currently serves in an advisory and board director capacity for several national and local organizations, including Disability:IN, the American Lung Association, and appointments to the U.S. Secretary of Labor’s Advisory Council on Apprenticeship and the Indianapolis and Eastern Massachusetts affiliates of the National Urban League.

Upon his appointment, Mr. Casey said, “I am excited to be joining the leadership team at Tapestry, an innovative global company with powerful brands and strong momentum in building its inclusive culture. I began my working life in the fashion retail industry and couldn’t be more thrilled to have my career come full circle.”

Tapestry believes we do our best work when we embrace differences and champion diversity at all levels of the organization. This appointment follows several important actions taken over the last year, including tying 10 percent of Tapestry’s leadership annual incentive compensation to specific Equity, Inclusion and Diversity goals and becoming a founding member of FIT’s Social Justice Center, focused on advancing equity and opportunity in the fashion industry to effect real and lasting change. These commitments have earned the Company recognition by Forbes as a “Best Employer for Diversity” for the fifth consecutive year.
