Retired Calvin Klein CEO Tom Murry Pens Book on Finding “A Great Fit” for Career Aspirations

What better way to help job-hunters and career-changers discover their passion and work purpose and unlock their true potential than to publish a book? Retired Calvin Klein CEO Tom Murry did just that with his autobiography and self-help book “A Great Fit: My Take on Confidence, Charisma, and the Career That Suits You Best” (Greenleaf Book Group; 2019).
 
Tom Murry was personally picked by Calvin Klein and Barry K. Schwartz, founders of the iconic fashion house, to be the CEO of their company. Both men were looking for a leader who could lead their company into the new millennium, and they chose Tom Murry, who was formerly affiliated with fashion brands Tahari and Evan-Picone. He brought a wealth of experience and leadership to Calvin Klein, which, during his 17-year tenure as CEO, has grown from $2.8 billion in global retail sales in 2003 to close to $8 billion in 2013.
 
Readers of “A Great Fit,” particularly aspiring job-hunters and career-changers among them, will learn not only about Tom Murry’s successes on his way to leading one of the world’s most recognized brands but also about his failures, as well as the life lessons he learned along the way. Readers will be overwhelmed yet awed by his drive and work ethic. After all, they will be reading – and learning more – about the man who believes everything he does needs to be like a Calvin Klein suit and never settles for second best.
 
“A Great Fit” has been well received by readers and will be exhibited at the upcoming Los Angeles Times Festival of Books on October 3-4, 2020 at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA.
