NEW YORK, United States — Tiffany & Co. hired Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd.'s Mark Erceg as chief financial officer, adding an executive with global and consumer-brand experience to fill a recent vacancy.
Erceg, 47, succeeds Ralph Nicoletti, who left Tiffany in May to become chief financial officer at Newell Brands Inc. Erceg, who held the same position at Canadian Pacific, starts on Oct. 18, New York-based Tiffany said Tuesday in a statement.
The hiring gives Tiffany an executive with global credentials from his time at Canadian Pacific and consumer-brand experience from 18 years in various positions at Procter & Gamble Co. At Tiffany, he’ll be responsible for the luxury jeweller’s global financial, indirect procurement and information technology functions.
Erceg’s “strong financial and operational background with broad International brands pairs well with the company’s strategic growth initiatives,” such as pursuing new collections while cutting down on inventory, said Betty Chen, an analyst at Mizuho Securities. She rates the stock a buy.
