Lululemon rebuffs founder's bid for board overhaul as misguided

Lululemon publicly rejects Chip Wilson’s campaign to overhaul its board, saying nominating three directors would endorse his “misguided” views and strip the company of critical leadership. Wilson, a former CEO and one of the largest shareholders, has long attacked management, while Lululemon has named Heidi O’Neill as the new CEO after Calvin McDonald’s departure. The company says it interviewed Wilson’s picks and found they would not benefit shareholders, and the public clash comes as the stock has fallen about 40% this year amid tariffs, consumer spending pullback and competition from brands like Vuori and Alo.
