Borel has repeatedly called for Becker's replacement, arguing it
is in the best interests of the computer mouse maker, and in an
open letter said that shareholders should not wait until next
year to put a new chair onto the board.
He has proposed board member Guy Gecht be chosen at the firm's
annual general meeting, arguing that Becker's plan to step down
meant she "seemingly has little left to contribute to Logitech
as it faces urgent and existential challenges".
Logitech did not immediately reply to a request for comment on
the letter from Borel, who holds the honorary position of
chairman emeritus at the company.
Gecht previously served as Logitech's interim CEO last year. The
company is tentatively scheduled to hold its next annual general
meeting on Sept. 4.
Borel, one of three people who founded Logitech in 1981, holds
just under 1.5% of Logitech's stock, according to spokesperson
for the co-founder.
Borel argues the business has lost its way under Becker, who has
chaired it since September 2019.
