From football boots to Dr Martens with CEO Kenny Wilson

Some of the topics we explore this week - How a school boy en route to becoming a professional footballer ended up as CEO of Dr Marten’s, why a belief that ‘the harder you work the luckier you get’ can only get you so far, how important it is to love what you do and why no matter how senior or successful you are you still learn from other people. Kenny Wilson who describes himself as ‘a 52 year old Scottish bloke’ has been Chief Executive at the iconic brand Dr Martens for the past 2 years having previously spent 6 years as the Chief Executive of Cath Kidston. When I heard that Kenny was moving to Dr Martens it felt like a natural fit. The brand is about rebellious self-expression, independent thinkers and people who stand up for what they believe in – all things that reflect the depth and character of Kenny as person and a leader.
