Ted Baker: Flying Your Flag High

Breaking Through

This month, we visit with QALO co-founder and CEO Ted Baker, whose active lifestyle brand started as a niche product -- silicon wedding bands -- and is now growing by leaps and bounds. QALO -- which stands for "Quality, Athletics, Love, Outdoors" -- centers commitment at the core of its brand. A former actor and bartender, Baker and his co-founder KC Holiday have built a company that solves a problem while helping people show how much their most important relationships matter to them. He shared his recipe for building a thriving corporate culture, which includes philanthropy and giving back to organizations like the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
