Mr Kinder has been with Nike for 19 years, most recently as vice president of sustainable manufacturing and sourcing. He has also served as general manager of Nike Vietnam, where he was responsible for all the company’s manufacturing operations in the country.
He takes over as chief sustainability officer from Hannah Jones, who is leaving the role after 14 years. She is taking up the position of president of Nike Valiant Labs, previously known as the Nike Innovation Accelerator. The role of this facility is to test new ideas, build prototypes and support potential growth businesses.
“We have made incredible progress over the last decade, and I’m excited to see Noel build on the leadership and change Hannah has helped define,” said Mark Parker, Nike president and CEO. “In this new area, Hannah will play an important role as we look to innovate and disrupt our own models in this next phase of our growth.”
