Millard "Mickey" Drexler, chairman and CEO of J. Crew Group, will be speaking at the Harvard Club on June 6.

Drexler is largely credited for guiding his former employer, Gap Inc., along a transformation where it went from a relatively small chain store to a clothing giant with more than 2,000 locations.

J. Crew was in poor shape when it hired Drexler in 2003. It was mired in debt but was profitable just two years after Drexler arrived. J. Crew went public in 2006, but was bought out five years later by Leonard Green & Partners and TPG Capital in a $3 billion deal.

The event is set to run from 7:30 am to 9 am at the Harvard Club (27 W. 44th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues) Non-members and guests must pay $50 to attend.
