Leadership Excellence:
Alen Mamrout, CEO

At the helm of American Exchange Group is Alen Mamrout, a results-oriented leader with a laser focus on expanding the business by unlocking the value in its diversified portfolio of brands. Mamrout is dedicated to transforming and expanding each of the brands within the company’s umbrella into lifestyle entities, by investing in product development, marketing and public relations to propel them to new heights. This formula has been Mamrout’s modus operandi since launching American Exchange Group in 2008 as a watch company that has since expanded into wearables, apparel, footwear and beauty. His unwavering commitment to fostering meaningful relationships and deep dedication to his customers have led to him being recognized as a trailblazer in the industry.

Mamrout possesses a visionary approach that transcends conventional business strategies. In March 2023, his company made a strategic move by acquiring Giant Propeller, an innovative creative services and digital marketing company based in Miami, United States. The acquisition provided American Exchange Group with a dedicated creative agency, helping the company to streamline its marketing efforts, leverage the expertise of marketing specialists and creative professionals, as well as maintaining consistency in messaging across its rapidly increasing portfolio of fashion and lifestyle brands.

Mamrout’s leadership philosophy is rooted in passion – passion for the products, brands and most importantly, the customers and their evolving needs. This commitment is reflected in the company’s long-term success and its ability to stay at the forefront of industry trends.

Driving Success with Best-in-Class Partners

American Exchange Group’s success is not only a testament to its innovative designs and manufacturing expertise but also to its emphasis on building long-lasting relationships with its retailers and licensed partners.

Together, we navigate the dynamic landscape of the industry, driven by a shared vision of delivering quality products and service to our customers. We are looking forward to many years of continued success,” said Alen Mamrout, CEO of American Exchange Group.

The ability to deliver in-demand private label and branded products has also solidified American Exchange Group’s reputation as a reliable and trendsetting industry leader.
