First Peloton Interactive Inc.’s John Foley lost his billionaire status in November. Then he stepped down as chief executive officer in February, a position he held for a decade, though retained considerable influence at the company he co-founded.
Now he has exited entirely, with Peloton announcing this week that he’s resigning as executive chair as part of a larger shake-up to its leadership team.
