POWER PLAYERS: Meet the 8 Victoria''s Secret executives helping the company shake off years of scandal and slumping sales Summary List Placement Victoria''s Secret is deep into a major turnaround effort . Oversexualized ads have been swapped out for more body-positive campaigns; plus-size mannequins are appearing in stores; and last month, the company parted ways with its iconic Angels after a decades-long partnership. Behind these changes is its newly formed executive team, which includes both longtime employees and fresh faces. These executives are working to change the brand and hope to free Victoria''s Secret from its scandalous past. Over the past few years, dozens of executives and management-level employees have left the company, including Les Wexner , the founder and former CEO of its parent company, L Brands. Wexner stepped down as CEO in 2020 after a period of intense scrutiny over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein . Also out is Wexner''s right-hand man and marketing chief, Ed Razek. He was credited with some of Victoria''s Secret''s most successful initiatives, including its blockbuster fashion show. But he was ultimately accused of holding the brand back by refusing to adapt to the times.
