Business Wire
NIKE, Inc. (NYSE: NKE) announced today that effective Dec. 1,
Carl Grebert, currently the VP, GM of the Global Jordan Brand,
will become the company’s new VP, GM of its Asia Pacific and Latin
America (APLA) geography. In the last year-and-a-half, Grebert has
led Jordan’s global product engines, marketing, merchandising
and category GM teams for the brand, helping reset the business and
marketplace for the next phase of growth.
Prior to his role with Jordan, Grebert was Global VP, GM of
Young Athletes for more than two years, driving strong growth and
alignment in this rapidly expanding category. Before this category
role, Carl led the Japan geography team as VP, GM of Nike Japan. He
has also held senior roles in marketing and ran territory business
units in Europe.
Ann Hebert, currently VP, GM of the APLA geography, will become
the new VP, Global Sales. Ann will be responsible for leading the
company’s global sales teams and partnering with Nike Direct to
build a seamless Nike network that will continue to elevate service
to consumers around the world. Mike Best, currently in the role,
has decided to retire after a nearly 30-year career with the
brand.
Hebert has been with the company for more than 23 years in
increasingly senior leadership roles. During her two-and-a-half
years leading APLA, she integrated Nike Japan into the geography
and consistently grew the business. Prior to leading APLA, Ann was
VP of the Global Nike Direct Partner business and led the North
America sales team as the VP, North America Sales.
Grebert and Hebert will report to Elliott Hill, Nike’s President
of Consumer and Marketplace.
“Carl and Ann are both seasoned Nike veterans who will continue
to drive growth and accelerate our consumer direct offense. We are
well positioned for the future with their leadership,” said
Hill.
