The past couple of years for Nike has been just about as good as it could get. The company’s stock value went through the roof when they made $30 billion of revenue in 2015 which many believe was down to CEO Mark Parker.
He’s recently been elected for the second year in a row as Portland Business Journal’s ‘Executive of the Year’.
PBJ asked the man himself, “What does it take to work for Nike?” See a snippet of his response below:
“At Nike, we’ve built a culture that attracts smart, curious and highly creative employees. Of course a passion for sport is also critical because no matter where you work — in design, at retail or in the supply chain — we are all focused on serving the athlete.
We also look for people who strike a balance between mastering the fundamentals of their role and pushing the edges of what’s expected from them. That’s what drives new thinking across our company and that’s how people grow in their careers here. I started at Nike in design, but I was always looking for ways to contribute to the team in an expanded way.
And we are big believers in the power of the collective – in uniting individuals with different strengths, experiences and points of view. The chemistry across our diverse teams makes us stronger together than we could ever be as individuals.”
