Analysis · LULU · Manufacturing
Amid a sales slump and a stock trading near its 52-week low, Lululemon is overhauling its senior leadership team. The company created two new C-level roles — President & Chief Product Officer and Chief Operating Officer — and hired Maggie Gauger from Athleta and Joseph Godsey from Walmart Canada to fill them, effective October 26. At the same time, Chief Brand & Product Activation Officer Nikki Neuburger and Chief Supply Chain Officer Ted Dagnese will leave on November 6, treated as terminations without cause. CFO Meghan Frank takes on interim oversight of brand and technology while searches continue for three more C-suite roles. CEO Heidi O'Neill announced the changes, saying the goal is faster, more collaborative product creation. The restructuring puts product and operations at the center of the turnaround effort after two consecutive guidance cuts and an 8-year low in the stock.
