Francis "Ken" Duane Email & Phone Number

As a Chief Executive, Vice Chairman and Board Director with a 35+ year career, I’ve enjoyed working side by side to build strong relationships with world-class fashion and lifestyle brand designers, investors, and employees in over 13 iconic global retail brands for PVH Corp, Guess, Inc., Nautica Enterprises, Hugo Boss, and Burberry. As CEO of Heritage Brands at PVH Corp, I’ve managed Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, The Underwear Group, Speedo, Warner’s/Warnaco, and earlier in my career, Izod. Whether it’s launching fresh retail concepts or resuscitating established brands, I grow companies to the next level. Results include fiscally healthy core businesses, multi-million-dollar royalty revenue streams, and talented leadership teams to keep the businesses humming. My core strengths are in leading transformational and bolt-on mergers and acquisitions, aligning resources to preserve distinctive brands for robust business portfolios and generating multi-billion-dollar revenue. I am seasoned at leading the strategic direction and managing comprehensive development/succession plans to capitalize on opportunities and strengths. I always seek to balance leadership teams and best practices across global organizations so the businesses can benefit from diverse perspectives and talents while creating momentum towards a unified goal. I take pride in sharing knowledge, empowering people, and grooming the next generation of leaders with a value-centric management style geared towards fostering future success.
