In the 84 years of the Father’s Day lunch, never has a father-son duo been honored. That changed on Thursday when Mark and Jarrod Weber received father of the year honors.
Mark Weber is the former chief executive officer of LVMH Inc., where he oversaw the U.S., as well as the former CEO of PVH Corp. He now is an author and radio and podcast host on iHeartMedia where he shares lessons on business, fashion and life.
Apparently those lessons were useful to his son Jarrod, global president of sports and lifestyle at Authentic Brands Group. The younger Weber joined Authentic in 2014 after a career as an attorney at Katten Muchin Rosenman.
On Thursday, the Webers were joined by David Greenberg, chairman of L’Oréal USA, as this year’s fathers of the year.
Mark Weber’s second son, Jesse Weber, an attorney, TV news anchor and legal analyst, presented the awards to his father and brother. He said his brother, who is seven years older, often acted as a parental figure to him. Now that they both have children of their own, he looks to Jarrod Weber as a role model for always being there for his sons.
