According to an internal memo, which is quoted by Women’s Wear Daily, Tony Bignell, currently Vice President for running shoes, has been promoted to Chief Innovation Officer. Fashionunited asked Nike for an official statement on the appointment.
In his new function, Bignell will report to Phil McCartney, Executive Vice President, Chief Innovation, Design and Product Officer. He is said to have already started the position in cooperation with Hoke. Hoke will remain the company until October in order to monitor the conclusion of ongoing projects.
With this appointment, Nike has again chosen internal promotion. According to his LinkedIn profile, Bignell has been in the company since 1999. His last two positions include that of the Vice President of Innovation Footwear. He held this position for nine years.
