Prince, who will oversee the Los Angeles apparel maker and retailer’s operational support and global supply chain activities, will join the company Nov. 15.

“He brings to Guess an impressive track record in the areas of finance, international infrastructure management and enterprise-wide business transformations, and has been instrumental in developing and executing strategies to support the global expansion of several lifestyle brands,” said Chief Executive Paul Marciano.
