Under Armour founder Kevin Plank returning as CEO

Kevin Plank is returning to lead the company he founded 28 years ago, Under Armour announced Wednesday, ending a four-year stretch during which Plank had surrendered day-to-day control of the Baltimore-based sports apparel and shoe company. The move brings to an abrupt end the 13-month tenure of Stephanie Linnartz as president and CEO of the company. Linnartz, a highly regarded senior executive at Marriott International, had replaced Patrik Frisk as CEO last February. Linnartz will remain an adviser to the company through April 30, 2024.
