The incorporator may appoint a director before there are any shareholders. If an incorporator is interested in appointing a director that is resistant to shareholder action then the corporation's governing documents must reflect this, in accordance with Delaware law. It would require a fairly complicated capital structure and carefully drafted governing documents to achieve this goal directly or indirectly.
