Capri Holdings' chief financial officer and operations head, Thomas Edwards, will leave the luxury holding company to assume similar roles at department store chain Macy's in June.

Edwards, who has been with the company since April 2017, will be succeeded by unit Michael Kors' Rajal Mehta as interim CFO, Reuters reported.

The change at Capri comes amid reports of Italian luxury group Prada moving closer to a deal for its Versace brand.

In March, Capri said Donatella Versace would step down as the main designer for Versace after almost three decades.

Edwards will replace Adrian Mitchell at Macy's. Mitchell, appointed finance head in 2020, was most recently involved in a turnaround at the Bloomingdale's parent rolled out by CEO Tony Spring.
