No. 55 Chip Wilson, lululemon founder

Bio

Chip Wilson is a passionate entrepreneur and visionary best known for lululemon athletica, the yoga-inspired athletic apparel company he founded in 1998… Headquartered in Vancouver, lululemon manufactures, distributes, and retails its products in some 35 stores across North America and internationally… But this University of Calgary economics graduate isn't all business. Don't be surprised if he passes you on North Vancouver's Grouse Grind, which he climbs three times a week, thanks to regular workouts with a personal trainer... Other pastimes include reading and keeping abreast of new and emerging athletics… On the home front, Chip and his wife Shannon are the proud parents of five sons.

“For me it's a game to discover what low hanging fruit I can grab to be more efficient and for others to enjoy the comparison.”
