Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg has rebuilt the company’s board weeks after directors tried and failed to remove him. The new group includes Silo author Hugh Howey, Breakup Bootcamp author Amy Chan, IRL co-founders Henry Khatachryan and Krutal Desai, and advisers from Curio Studio, June and KISSmetrics. Mullenweg regained control after exactly 33 hours and 20 minutes, using voting shares that he said control 84% of the company’s vote. The episode also led to board departures, executive dismissals and a change in legal counsel amid Automattic’s continuing trademark dispute with WP Engine.
