Chip off the old boardLululemon founder Chip Wilson has once again stepped back from the company he founded, announcing Monday that he’s resigning from its board of directors. In a release, Wilson cited two motivating factors for his decision: the company, he said, is “back on track” after losing its way in 2013; and his resignation from Lululemon will mean he has more time to help his wife, Shannon, and their son JJ with Kit & Ace, a “technical luxury” brand that’s opened a handful of stores in the past year. “I have achieved the goals I set when I came back, and after careful thought, I believe that now is the right time to step away from the board,” Wilson said in the release. “I will now have more opportunity to work with my wife and son as they grow their new business.”
