When Elliot Hill took over as the CEO of Nike about a year ago,
he went viral on LinkedIn because of his resume.
Everyone was just sharing his job descriptions for the past 37 years, which is all Nike.
He just started as an intern at Nike.
In interviews,
he has said that he basically started like moving boxes around and taking calls from customers.
And, you know, he rose through the ranks to become an executive.
Last month, our colleague, Inti Pacheco,
flew to Nike's headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon and sat down with Hill.
I mean, I certainly, my job has changed now as a CEO and I've had to learn how to be.
a CEO which has been, you know, frankly,
a bit of a transition, more time with investors, more time with media.
He says that he has an irrational love for the company.
You know, when I was talking to people who know him, they would say that,
you know, he gets emotional every time that he talks about the company and the employee base.
There are even podcasts where he's like,
they ask him about the company and he really just starts like weeping.
For Nike's investors, you could say that there's also been some weeping,
but for a completely different reason.
The stock is only worth about half of what it was three years ago.
