BROOKLYN, NY, August 20, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Marquis Who's Who has recognized Peter Guthy for his four decades of impact in the wholesale, retail, and luxury goods industries, where he built and led high-performing sales organizations for some of the world's most renowned brands.

Guthy is best known for his 25-year tenure with Luxottica, where he served as Vice President of Sales for Premium Sun. He directed wholesale operations covering Department Store verticals, D2C specialists including Amazon and the loyalty channel in North America for powerhouse names including Chanel, Prada, Tory Burch, Coach, Ray-Ban, and Oakley — growing the business from $1 million at acquisition to $400 million in annual sales. Guthy's leadership spanned strategy, team development, channel expansion, and navigating multiple corporate regime changes without losing market momentum.

Prior to Luxottica, Guthy honed his expertise in account management and buying roles at Bausch + Lomb, Outlook Eyewear, Macy's, and Abraham & Straus. His track record includes building durable wholesale partnerships, aligning brand stories with market needs, and consistently delivering double-digit growth in competitive sectors.

In 2025, Guthy launched SpeakPeter, a consulting practice focused on translating his wholesale leadership playbook into actionable strategies for C-suite executives and growth-minded brands. His services center on brand positioning, strategic commerce, and leadership execution — rooted in decades of delivering results at scale.

A graduate of Pace University with a BBA in marketing, Guthy has been recognized with honors including Nordstrom's Partner in Excellence Award (2020). Beyond his professional work, he is committed to expanding access to vision care through his long-standing support of OneSight and the Foundation Fighting Blindness.
