Nike executive takes ‘culture and talent’ role at Lululemon
Yoga brand Lululemon Athletica has named former Nike executive Gina Warren as executive vice-resident of culture and talent.

She will report to CEO Laurent Potdevin and will lead the team that is responsible for all people practices including health and wealth, recruitment and learning and development for all retail and support functions.

Ms Warren led Nike's diversity and inclusion team from 2002 to 2014. During that time she initiated inaugural global cultural assessments, helped establish the Global Women's Leadership Council, launched women's leadership conferences and oversaw the company's employee resource networks.

From 1999 to 2002, Ms Warren served as director of Nike community affairs and the Nike Foundation.

"Culture is created by what people say, what they do and how they make decisions," said Ms Warren. "I believe that Lululemon is a place of possibility, which puts people at the core.”
