Tapestry Career Spotlight: Eric Chavous, Senior Manager, Counsel
For our most recent Career Spotlight, Tapestry interviewed Eric Chavous, Senior Manager, Counsel. We learned about his role – which includes managing brand ambassador contracts and walkthroughs with the Intellectual Property team – and how it helps shape the final product you see in stores.
Q: Can you share your role, how long you’ve been at Tapestry and a few details about what your team oversees? I am Sr. Manager, Counsel and have worked at Tapestry for a little over four years. I started as an independent contractor and was converted to full time about five months later. Currently, I support both the Contracts team that oversees all agreements entered across Tapestry and its brands in NA and the Intellectual Property team responsible for managing Tapestry’s global IP portfolio and clearing designs, artwork, and names for brand design and merchandise teams.
Q: What is your proudest moment/achievement at Tapestry? I am blessed to be able to truthfully say I have had numerous proud moments at Tapestry. The moment that sticks out the most at this time is the opportunity I had to give a presentation on NFTs to our Executive Committee with one of my colleagues. Not many lawyers at my career level can claim they have personally presented to the entire Executive Committee of a multi-billion dollar public company.
Q: What words would you use to describe our culture? Innovative. Fast. Inclusive.
