Pandora has appointed Philippa Newman as its new chief product officer, effective March 9, 2026.

Newman, who will report directly to CEO Berta de Pablos-Barbier, joins Pandora’s executive leadership team, where she will oversee the global product organization.

With more than 25 years in the luxury fashion industry, Newman previously served as chief brand and product officer at Michael Kors, where she oversaw brand strategy and product across design and merchandising. Her background also includes roles at Tory Burch, Alexander McQueen, and Donna Karan.

In her new position, Newman will guide Pandora’s design direction through the use of advanced materials, aiming to translate creativity into scalable product newness while expanding the brand’s esthetic reach.

Newman, an American based in New York, will relocate to Copenhagen later this year. She succeeds Stephen Fairchild, who has been appointed chief strategic creative and cultural officer after serving as chief product officer since 2011.
