As Vice President and Treasurer at Capri Holdings Limited, Tai leads the global treasury organisation for one of the world’s most recognised luxury fashion companies, driving financial strategy, liquidity, capital markets and risk management across global markets.
Her work centres on building a resilient, future-ready treasury that protects enterprise value, supports growth and enables business agility in a constantly evolving environment. This has included leading treasury execution through the divestiture of Versace, one of the most complex treasury separations in recent luxury retail history.
Tai exemplifies the modern corporate treasurer: strategic, change driven, people centred and purpose led. Her public reflections show a leader who pairs operational excellence with authentic leadership: someone who has earned her seat through discipline, resilience, and a clear commitment to building others up, especially women navigating demanding leadership environments.
Tai oversaw a treasury transformation that materially strengthened Capri’s liquidity model and operating cadence. She led the kind of foundational change that modernises treasury’s ability to manage liquidity, controls and efficiency across a global organisation.
Her operational excellence and continuous improvement mindset helped shape a treasury function that has matured from manual processes to scalable, governed execution. Publicly, Tai is consistently visible as a practitioner leader who contributes to the profession, participating in high quality treasury forums and discussions, including a panel focused on treasury leadership in mergers, acquisitions and spin-offs at AFP, and sharing learnings from multiple treasury events. Tai demonstrates a willingness to teach, to share what works, and to lift the overall standard of the profession.
She has a reputation for leading with clarity in ambiguity, and defines the modern agility required in treasury today. Tai describes agility as knowing the strategy, staying grounded, and adjusting as conditions change, a practical definition that resonates with how treasury leaders must operate amid shifting markets, business priorities and risk exposures.
Tai is also a builder of people and culture, not just a manager of cash. Her own words emphasise gratitude, team centric leadership and pride in the journey: “I never set out to be Treasurer, but I’m proud of the path,” and appreciation for a team that “pours into me as much as I pour into them.”
Her attitude that encapsulates service, humility and accountability is precisely what makes leaders inspirational inside organisations: she is a high performer who still makes space for others to grow. She also mentors through the Capri Mentorship Program, investing directly in colleagues coming up behind her. She is a role model in representation and resilience. For example, during Black History Month, she shares: “I have been one of few in more rooms than I can count… Being one of few builds discipline… Durability matters more than applause.”
She is a leader who not only navigates underrepresentation: she names it, reframes it and turns it into a leadership philosophy that empowers others. Her commitment to improving gender representation and DEI is evident through visible participation, community building and values driven advocacy. At Capri, she serves as Treasurer of the BOLD (Black Organizers, Leaders and Doers) employee resource group, lending financial governance to the community she advocates for.
Her public footprint shows repeated engagement in women focused finance and treasury initiatives and a women in finance networking context. She highlights the importance of community and representation. And Tai is committed to broader equity, not only within treasury. She advocates for education equity and DEI related charitable engagement, explicitly framing it as inspiration and impact. In addition, as treasurer of the Capri Foundation, she helps steward its scholarship initiative supporting students from historically underrepresented communities. This indicates a leader whose DEI commitment is consistent and multi-dimensional from industry representation to community opportunity.
Tai is an exceptional corporate treasurer who combines strategic rigor with people first leadership. As Vice President and Treasurer at Capri Holdings, she has driven meaningful transformation in treasury’s operating model and impact. She is also a committed champion of representation, speaking candidly about being “one of few” and turning that experience into a message of preparedness, durability and leadership. Her consistent engagement in women in finance networks and broader equity initiatives underscores that she is not only succeeding, she is actively expanding the path for others.
