    Mark joins Ben to talk about his findings as well as discuss how his long career in the retail industry has shaped his views on the mid-market.

    Mark is a seasoned professional in the retail industry with a history of leading companies through periods of transformation. Having previously worked at Brooks Brothers, Mark was invited by the same CEO to join Warnaco, a once-bankrupt company now thriving with a $2 billion wholesale business. At Warnaco, he managed an extensive portfolio that included legacy brands and licenses for high-profile names like Calvin Klein underwear, Calvin Klein Jeans, and Speedo North America.
