Veronica Wu has stepped down from VF Corporation’s Board of Directors with immediate effect. She was appointed to the VF Board of Directors in March of 2019. After her, the VF Board will be reduced from 12 members to 11 members until a new director is identified. Her decision comes just a few days after Axios reported she had dismissed US racism and called Black Lives Matter ‘the true racists.’
Founded in 1899, VF Corporation is one of the world’s largest apparel, footwear and accessories companies connecting people to the lifestyles, activities and experiences they cherish most through a family of iconic outdoor, active and workwear brands including Vans®, The North Face®, Timberland® and Dickies®.
