As much as we will all lose a pound of flesh when he is being let go, I hope none of us here want to carry that emotional weight.

@3tmv bc he did so well with ND?
Next CEO prob Daniel Heaf
Reposting from another thread:
So the writing is on the wall for JD.
If you were the BoD, who would you choose as next CEO?
My opinion:
No current exec is there.
HON: Will double down on things that haven't worked for us so far. Was too much of a driving force that got us where we are. If JD was in the driver's seat, she was the navigation system.
CW: Not a Nike leader. Might be good at what he does, but in 5 years he's been with the company he hasn't made enough impact nor has he built enough reputation as a leader.
That leaves it open:
I think ES (prior COO) and EH (prior President). Both are probably happily retired. ES was an operator that understood the brand. He knew the internal and external needs. EH knew the brand inside and out. He's smart enough to know his weakness is in operating the business and could hire a strong operator.
That said, both these rely on them giving up their cushy and likely very enjoyable retirement.
What are your thoughts?
God please don’t let it be Heidi….
Two out of touch white guys on the earning call who are talking about the younger generation and product innovation for such an iconic and culturally relevant brand … that they know nothing about….
I hope the next ceo is Craig Williams. Actually knows what he’s doing, brand guy, grew the fu-k out of Jordan, ex navy seal, understands the culture, whip smart , no Nike baggage like HON
My boy Travis - let’s make it happen!
When JD is gone, who can lead? MP is 68 and #2 at Disney so I don’t think he can be our white knight. I wish, but I don’t see that happening… Hoke? That’s a lot of leap frogging for him, but who else has product/branding/nike history, to lead?
Remember when EH was supposed to come save us at the end of February hahahah
Honestly after so much decline in stock price, why he is still here?
Any chance we be able to work remote once he is gone ?
If he does, I wouldn’t mind sticking around
Any facts here or only speculation?
He’s out after Paris Olympics
Will they announce it during this or next earnings ?
I for one, welcome our new swoosh overlord.
