Meghan Markle’s new lifestyle brand has hit a roadblock as CEO candidates are reportedly avoiding the opportunity to work with the Duchess of Sussex due to concerns about a “difficult” working environment. According to reports, several potential candidates have turned down the offer to lead Markle’s brand, citing the chaotic nature of the company.
The brand, named “Orchard,” was launched by Markle earlier this year and is said to focus on wellness, lifestyle, and other related products. However, the company has faced challenges in hiring top talent to lead the brand due to reports of a chaotic workplace environment. Markle herself has been the subject of intense media scrutiny and has faced criticism for her high-profile lifestyle and relationships.
Some candidates have reportedly expressed concerns about working for Markle, with one individual describing the potential opportunity as “toxic.” Others have raised questions about the brand’s long-term prospects and whether it is truly aligned with their career goals. Despite these challenges, Markle remains committed to building her brand and is continuing her search for a CEO.
In response to the reports, a spokesperson for Markle stated that the CEO search is still ongoing and that the company is focused on finding the right candidate to lead Orchard. The spokesperson also emphasized Markle’s commitment to creating a positive and inclusive workplace culture. It remains to be seen how the company will address these challenges and attract top talent to lead the brand in the future.
