Good morning, Broadsheet readers! A new study finds that caregiving can increase the severity of menopause symptoms, Saudi Arabia is strengthening its women's soccer league, and Tapestry's chief didn't see herself as a CEO—until she redefined the job. Have a wonderful Monday!
- New definition. Joanne Crevoiserat never saw herself as a CEO. “I’m not sure I’m the CEO type,” she recalls saying when, while serving as Abercrombie & Fitch's CFO and then COO, she was asked why she didn't throw her hat in the ring for the retailer's open chief executive job.
Today, Crevoiserat is the CEO of Tapestry, the company behind Coach and Kate Spade. Under her watch, Tapestry announced in August an $8.5 billion plan to acquire Capri Holdings, the parent of Michael Kors and Jimmy Choo. The deal would double Tapestry's revenue to $12 billion and is the largest fashion industry merger since the mid-2000s.
