Case Study:
Nike, Global CTO Search
Following the departure of its previous CTO, Nike CEO John Donahoe decided the next technology leader should report directly to him for the first time. Our goal was to attract a senior leader who could bridge the gap between the technology group and the various business units and who came from a top-tier technology company.
Our Approach
- Collaborated with the CEO to ensure focus on tech leaders who also had experience of leading business units.
- Identified over 30 leaders across top-tier tech firms.
- Role was based in Beaverton, so quickly assessing ability to relocate was key.
Our placement:
Dr. Muge Erdirik Dogan, Global CTO
- PhD-qualified technologist with extensive supply chain and retail experience.
- Was previously a P&L leader of a $50b LOB at Amazon.
- Exceptional ability to integrate business strategy and technology execution.
