Logitech International SA’s founder is making a fresh push to oust the company’s chair, Wendy Becker, saying she lacks the expertise in the tech industry that the company needs.

Daniel Borel has proposed Guy Gecht as chair and wants a shareholder vote at the company’s annual meeting in September, according to a letter sent to the company and seen by Bloomberg News. Borel, who says he holds more than 1% of the stock, voted against Becker’s re-election at last year’s AGM.
