The addition of the industry leader reinforces the brand's continued momentum and further fuels its strategic growth priorities
Vuori, the performance and lifestyle brand known for its coastal California-inspired style, today announced the appointment of Andrew Campion to its Board of Directors and a member of its Audit Committee. For over 17 years, Andy served in executive leadership roles at Nike Inc. (NYSE:NKE), including as Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and head of global strategy.
Prior to Nike, Campion was with The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS), serving as its Senior Vice President of Corporate Development. Currently, Andy is the Chairman and CEO of Unrivaled Sports, a leading and fast-growing youth sports portfolio of brands and businesses.
"Over the past several years, I have admired and been personally inspired by the brand and business that Joe Kudla and the team at Vuori have been building," said Andrew Campion. "Vuori brings a new and truly unique perspective to performance and lifestyle apparel for both men and women —with a game-changing combination of product innovation, authenticity, and purpose. I'm honored and excited to join the Board of Directors and join in fueling Vuori's strong growth and mission of helping everyone live extraordinary lives."
"The inclusion of Andy to the Vuori board is an exciting milestone for our brand," said Joe Kudla, Founder and CEO of Vuori. "He brings a unique perspective and level of expertise given the critical leadership roles he's played at Nike and The Walt Disney Company, and his involvement and oversight as the co-founder and director of the UCLA Sports Leadership and Management Program. Serving alongside our existing board members, Andy will be a key strategic partner for Vuori and supporter in our ongoing mission and growth journey to be one of the most impactful brands of our time."
Campion currently serves on the Boards of Directors of Starbucks Coffee Company (NASDAQ:SBUX), Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE:WSM), the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and the UCLA Anderson School of Management.
Since being established in 2015, Vuori has strategically positioned itself as a category disruptor in the activewear market by offering a differentiated and more versatile perspective on performance apparel. After garnering widespread attention and loyalty from consumers in the United States, the brand has expanded its global omnichannel presence through a growing network of brick-and-mortar locations and a robust network of distributors.
Recently surpassing the 100-store milestone, Vuori expects to methodically build its fleet of locations in the U.S. each year. Additionally, by the end of 2026, it expects to add a significant number of store locations outside of the U.S., cementing its momentum and presence globally. This comes as the brand recently opened flagship stores in London and Shanghai with plans to open stores in Seoul and Beijing by the end of 2025.
About Vuori
Born in the beachside town of Encinitas, California, Vuori draws inspiration from its vibrant community, active lifestyle, and the natural playground that surrounds it. The brand creates premium performance apparel and elevated everyday styles—each crafted with intention, quality, and a fabric-first approach—to strike the perfect balance between functionality and simplicity. Vuori was founded in 2015 by Joe Kudla in a humble garage office just two blocks from the ocean. What started in a small "garoffice" quickly grew into a powerful vision: to build a values-driven brand rooted in connection, balance, and the pursuit of an extraordinary life. Today, Vuori is available in more than 18 countries worldwide, found in Vuori stores, on vuoriclothing.com, and through a network of national and regional retail partners.
