Mike Lindell, founder of MyPillow, is stepping down as CEO and focusing on his full-time campaign for Minnesota governor. Lindell will remain on MyPilow's board of directors and be a minority stockholder, but will not be involved in running company operations. James Furlong, who served as president from 2004 to 2019, will succeed Lindell as CEO. The change will not impact MyPilloow's operations. Lindells is leading the GOP pack for governor in the latest KSTP/SurveyUSA poll, but his own party is questioning his residency and a judge is considering whether he violated campaign law by giving away his pillows for free.
