Nike appoints Noel Kinder as new VP and CSO

He will report to Eric Sprunk, Nike’s chief operating officer and Tom Clarke, president of advanced innovation, with oversight from the corporate responsibility, sustainability, and governance committee of the Nike, Inc. Board of Directors.

Kinder succeeds Hannah Jones, a 20-year Nike veteran as CSO, who after 14 years in the role will become president of Nike Valiant Labs, the company’s in-house new business model incubator.

Mark Parker, Nike chairman, president and CEO said, “We have made incredible progress over the last decade, and I’m excited to see Noel build on the leadership and change Hannah has helped define. In this new area, Hannah will play an important role as we look to innovate and disrupt our own models in this next phase of our growth.” (GK)
