Global Sourcing Today and Tomorrow

 

Katie Murphy Amphitheater, at 27th Street and 7th Ave

Wednesday, September 12, 2012

6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

 

Master of Ceremonies:

Prof. Josh Green, Chief Executive Officer, Panjiva

 

Panelists:

Hatun Aytug, Senior Vice President, Product Management Warnaco,

Calvin Klein Jeans and Underwear
Joseph Blumber, Co-Founder and Partner, Grupo M
Steven Hurwitz, Senior Vice President, Tumi
Bill McRaith, Chief Supply Chain Officer, PVH Corp.

 

The distinguished panel will speak about the evolution of global sourcing

from a region- or country-centric orientation to multiple-countries of

origin and distribution as influenced by the emergence of new growth markets,

the necessity to diversify portfolios, the innovation of transportation and communication, as well as the establishment of free trade agreements, security procedures, and product safety measures. In view of the savvier customers

around the world, brands are having to be smarter about addressing the

nuances, such as fabric, finish, fit, and functionality, that the design,

merchandising, and sourcing teams have to keep in check in order to implement

a successful global business model.
