Vice President, Demand and Supply Management for Nike, Inc.
Paul College: Tell us about your history and role at Nike. What has inspired you to stay at Nike for as long as you have?
White: It was the summer of 1996, and all eyes were on the Atlanta Olympic Games, Michael Johnson and all the excitement surrounding his gold spikes. At the time, I was still living on the East Coast and received a call regarding a role in finance at Nike. Growing up just outside of Boston, I have been a huge sports fan all of my life. I decided to give it a chance and visit the Nike World Headquarters near Portland, Oregon. After the trip, I recall describing it to my dad as “Disney World for sports fans.” In other words, Nike had me at hello.
