Brand Leaders

The owners, presidents and SVPs behind household-name brands.

35 profiles, published in 3 installments. Every profile is fact-checked against its sources, and every source opens inside the magazine.

Every household-name brand has a small number of people who decide what it says, how it looks and where it goes next. This list profiles thirty-five of them — owners, presidents and senior vice presidents — across three installments.

Part one features Morgan Flatley, Manolo Arroyo, Sean Tresvant and Marcel Marcondes. Part two turns to Leslie Berland, Sean Gilpin, Mike Tripp and Frank Cooper III, and part three to Molly Battin, Fabiola Torres, Asmita Dubey and Zena Arnold.

Brand leadership is usually invisible work done in public. These profiles put names and careers to it: who holds the brief, who answers for the brand, and how they came to hold the chair.
