Reports have indicated that Becker, a successful businessman, played a significant role in expanding the Vera Wangbrand, and neither party has commented on how their marital split might affect the company's operations.
"The Vera Wangbrand does not sell her personal love story nor her marriage, but the soul of a New Yorker dedicated to offering women a luxury lifestyle brand, " said Leis, who is also a former director of marketing for Saks Fifth Avenue New York.
Mr. Wang spoke with Emily Veach in Hong Kong about the challenges of winning brand loyalty in Asia's varied markets as well as how he retains quality staff, no small task in the retail business.
