Nike Appoints LVMH Executive Alexandre Arnault to Its Board
Nike Inc. has appointed Alexandre Arnault, a member of the LVMH family and deputy CEO at Moët Hennessy, to its board of directors. Nike cited his experience in revitalizing global brands as key to supporting the company's next phase of growth. Prior roles include executive positions at Tiffany & Co., Rimowa, and leadership across digital innovation within LVMH. Nike’s decision comes amid a period of performance challenges for the brand, including a 1 percent decline in fourth-quarter net sales compared to last year on a reported basis. The company recently rehired Jane Ewing as chief commercial officer after eliminating that role earlier this year. Nike executives emphasized Arnault's expertise in innovation and consumer engagement. Mark Parker, executive chairman of Nike Inc., highlighted the importance of board diversity and fresh perspectives for long-term value creation.
