Scott Felsenthal currently serves as Whitmor’s CEO and became the first member of the 4th-generation of the Felsenthal family to join the business after he graduated law school in 2009. Following in his father’s footsteps (Peter Felsenthal, retired as CEO in 2020 after 39 years with the company), he learned the business through the eyes of its employees, working across all departments to drive a progressive and forward-thinking corporate culture. In his current role, Scott is responsible for continuing to drive a forward-thinking company culture and ensuring that the company is constantly positioning itself for sustainable future success.

Scott currently serves on the board of directors for several companies, including a New York-headquartered direct-to-consumer home essentials product company called SNOWE, a Montreal-based public real estate technology company called Urbanimmersive, and a Memphis-based designer and distributor of decorative lamps and lighting, Grandview Gallery. In addition, Scott is an avid supporter of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and launched a formal partnership between Whitmor and St. Jude in 2016 that continues strong today.

The biggest accomplishments that Scott is most proud of are his wife, Abby, and their two daughters, Mollie and Rosie, who never let him forget that the most important thing to a life full of happiness is eating lots and lots of candy.
