Rallying the Troops - The Women of Nike
Brigitte Kimichik • Jan 29, 2019
After experiencing years of sexual harassment with little to no corrective action after complaining to HR, a group of women inside Nike’s Beaverton, Oregon, headquarters had finally had enough and started a small revolt. Complaints included gender discrimination, disrespect at group meetings, exclusion from advancement in certain divisions, exclusion of women from the inner circle of male decision makers, and lack of female leadership. After surveying their female peers, the results in the form of completed questionnaires landed on the desk of the company’s CEO. The result? A series of male executive departures
followed, including the President of the Nike brand, Trevor Edwards, and his lieutenant, Jayme Martin, who ran Nike’s global business.
