KENNETH L. WYSE
CEO, President

Call him a sage, a visionary, or a brand ambassador, Ken is a leader in global branding and licensing, with a career that’s helped shape the modern apparel industry. Known for his strategic mind, sharp instincts, and gift for connecting people and ideas, Ken is the rare executive who blends big-picture thinking with hands-on deal-making. 

Ken helped transform PVH from a single brand company with a small licensing presence to a global giant with over 200 global licenses — including Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger — contributing millions in value. Ken's strategic fingerprints were all over that transformation.

A natural brand builder, Ken has a talent for spotting opportunity — whether it’s expanding IZOD into China, aligning Van Heusen across Central America, or launching innovative joint ventures across India and Australia. He’s helped bring celebrity-backed brands like Regis Philbin and Ryan Seacrest into the fold, and crafted major retail programs with J.C.Penney and Kohl’s that set the standard for brand rollouts.

Ken is a sought-after speaker on branding and licensing, having lectured at top fashion universities and international conferences. He serves on several cultural and philanthropic boards including Guild Hall, the Chamber Music Society of Palm Beach, and the Business Council for International Understanding. He’s also Chairman Emeritus of the Business Council at Lincoln Center and past chairman of the YMA/FSF Fashion Scholarship Fund.

Strategic, thoughtful and endlessly curious, Ken Wyse is the steady hand building bridges and guiding brands to their next chapter.
