Welcome to the 2018 Power 50 list, which ranks the most influential people in the industry.

#17 Glenn Chamandy, Gildan (asi/56842)

2017 Rank: 11
Title: President/CEO
Industry Experience: 34 years

While Chamandy’s 2018 peer scores slipped lower, most likely because he doesn’t enjoy the same industry facetime other top execs get, he still leads one of the world’s largest and most successful apparel firms. Gildan has deftly woven Alstyle and American Apparel offerings into its line, boosting its 2017 promo sales to an estimated $540 million. Overall last year, Chamandy-led Gildan produced $2.75 billion in total sales.
