Victor Kiam

Victor Kiam (1946–2001) was an American businessman and author best known for leading Remington Products and popularizing the line, “I liked the shaver so much I bought the company.” After working in advertising, he moved into consumer products and became associated with Remington’s electric shavers, using direct, personality-driven marketing to revive the brand’s visibility. Kiam also wrote about his experiences in business, blending memoir with lessons on salesmanship and corporate turnarounds. His public profile made him a recognizable figure in late‑20th‑century American marketing, where his name became shorthand for enthusiastic product endorsement backed by ownership.
