Oofos named former T-Mobile CEO John Legere to its board of directors. The company said Legere has a “formidable track record as an innovative leader who uses unconventional methods to guide teams, individuals and global corporations to their fullest potential.”
Legere brings over 40 years of experience to the position, having worked in the global telecommunications and technology industries. Most recently, he was the CEO of T-Mobile for eight years, driving the company through a list of achievements.
“We are thrilled to welcome John Legere to our OOfamily,” said Lou Panaccione, founder and CEO of Oofos. “This is a time of great momentum for our brand, and John’s history of growing businesses will help us continue to build Oofos globally and position the company for success. Most importantly, though, John’s character and reputation fit our brand values, and we look forward to working together to bring our incredible ‘make yOO feel better’ OOfoam technology to more people around the world.”
Legere also sits on the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s board, an organization “near and dear to Oofos since 2014, when one of the company’s first employees, Duncan Finigan, was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer. In 2015, the brand began Project Pink to support Duncan through her four-year battle with the illness and to keep her memory alive following her passing in 2019. Project Pink is focused on giving back to Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund, donating more than $3.4 million since the program’s inception,” said Oofos.
