Nike Inc. announced it has hired a veteran Amazon executive, Muge Erdirik Dogan, to be its new chief technology officer. She has been leading the e-commerce giant’s fashion unit for a long time before accepting the role of CTO from the footwear and sports apparel manufacturer.
According to Consumer Goods, the former Amazon exec has been with the company for 16 years. Throughout her tenure, she held various roles across consumer and delivery operations units. It was in 2021 when she was appointed as the president of Amazon Fashion.
Dogan’s New Role at Nike
The new CTO is leaving Amazon immediately after the announcement of her departure and moving to Nike’s headquarters. Reportedly, Jenny Freshwater, a long-time Amazon leader, is set to take over her post as vice president of fashion and fitness.
Dogan is set to join Nike at a time when the company is putting more investments in its digital and IT capabilities. She will now be part of the firm that is working to speed up the efforts to fulfill its commitment to serve athletes. Nike is currently building on its strong momentum to develop and innovate for a better future of sports while also serving the consumers.
Other Leadership Appointments and Departures
To fuel the growth of the company, Nike has assigned skillful executives to lead its management and business. It has also appointed John Hoke to be its new chief innovation officer while Martin Lotti is the new chief design officer, replacing Hoke.
Nicole Hubbard Graham is returning to the company to take the role of chief marketing officer. Meanwhile, Dirk-Jan Van Hameran, Nike’s CMO, and Michael Spillane, president of consumer creation, are confirmed to retire.
“We are driving even greater focus and integration across our business and teams through these changes, doubling down on what Nike does best: seamlessly serving athletes with compelling product,” Nike’s president and chief executive officer, John Donahoe, said in a press release. “Our brand momentum is strong, our innovation pipeline is unmatched, and our strategy is working. What continues to be clear is that there’s so much more potential ahead of us.”
He added, “These shifts will allow us to streamline our focus across product, brand storytelling, and marketplace, mining deep consumer insights to deliver breakthrough innovation and engagement, while building long-term growth and profitability.”
