Nike (NYSE:NKE) announced that Elliott Hill will take the helm as President and Chief Executive Officer effective October 14, 2024. Following the news, the company's shares gained nearly 8% in after-hours trade.

Mark Parker, Executive Chairman of Nike, praised Hill's global expertise and leadership, emphasizing his comprehensive understanding of the industry and the company's partners.

Parker also acknowledged Donahoe's significant contributions, especially his leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic and his support for the company's community investments. Donahoe expressed confidence in Hill as the right choice for the company's future leadership.

Hill, who previously retired from Nike in 2020, has a long history with the company, having held senior leadership roles in both Europe and North America.
