lululemon Refreshes Board with Chip Wilson Pact; Gentile and Maurer to Join
lululemon announced a cooperation agreement with founder Chip Wilson (about 8.7% stake) to refresh its board, adding Laura Gentile (ex-ESPN CMO) and Marc Maurer (ex-On Co-CEO) after the 2026 annual meeting, with a further product/brand expert director to join by October 1, 2026. The deal includes standstill and voting provisions for ~18 months, and lululemon will donate to Kitsilano Beach instead of expense reimbursement. The changes accompany leadership transition toward incoming CEO Heidi O’Neill as the company aims to strengthen brand health, reaccelerate growth, and boost shareholder value.
