The firm announced CFO John Currie, who's been with the firm for seven years, would retire. CEO Christine Day was just replaced in January.<span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> Founder Chip Wilson tried unsuccessfully to oust two outside board members Wednesday, including new chairman Michael Casey. "</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Mr. Wilson, who owns 27 per cent of the company's shares, said the directors were focusing on short term results 'at the expense of product, culture and brand and longer term corporate goals,'" the Globe and Mail reported.</span>
