Why Is This Happening? McDonald is leaving because Lululemon has had a hard time selling clothes in the United States. Sales in the U.S. did not grow as expected, and profit fell by about 13% in the latest quarter. This made the company decide it was time for a new leader. What Comes Next at Lululemon? While the company searches for a new permanent CEO, two leaders will help run Lululemon. These are Meghan Frank (Chief Financial Officer) and André Maestrini (Chief Commercial Officer). They will be interim co-CEOs, which means they share the CEO job for now.

The company also increased plans to buy back more of its own stock, showing confidence in the business. What does this mean for Lululemon?McDonald’s time as CEO saw big growth, especially around the world. But tough competition and slower U.S. sales made leaders decide to move in a new direction. The company now hopes the change will help Lululemon do better with customers in the future.
