Elliott Hill will take over as Nike's CEO on October 14, succeeding John Donahoe. Starting his career as an intern 36 years ago, Hill's story is a true inspiration.
He worked hard for six months to secure that internship after graduating from Ohio University in 1988. Hill quickly rose through the ranks, holding key positions such as Director of Team Sports and Vice President of EMEA Sales. After a brief break, he returned to Nike and became President of various divisions over 14 years.
