Bio
Bill Eigner
My law firm represents Pace Shave and Dorco, thereby giving me many opportunities to work with Ken Hill, when he was CEO of Pace Shave. I strongly recommend Ken. Based on my long and close experience in working with Ken, I came to like and respect Ken immensely and was astounded by his ability to form and keep relationships, manage people and get deals done. For example, Ken was actively involved in negotiating a supply and investment agreement with Dollar Shave Club that led to Dollar Shave Club revolutionizing the wet shave industry and being acquired by Unilever for $1,000,000,000. Ken understands business culture in Korea, China, Japan and Europe, in addition to the U.S. Many misunderstandings were averted because of Ken's international business acumen. Although an industry veteran, Ken and his colleagues quickly adapted an old-line business into a pioneer, working with online and subscription marketing in addition to skillfully navigating brick and mortar retailing. Ken's good sense of humor, industry know-how and innovative approach make him one of the best executives and advisors anywhere.

Though leading any company is a tough job, Ken makes it seem like second nature. His cumulative experience shows in every decision he makes, whether it was one which affected his team members in a small way or one which catapulted his company to great success. I can truly testify that Ken's relentless pursuit of success for the well-being of his company and team members as a whole made my job an enjoyable one.
