Nike Names New North America Head after Sneaker Resale Saga

Nike Inc. has named a new head for its North America business, as well as made changes to its senior leadership team, following the sneaker resale saga that dominated headlines last week.

The sportswear giant announced the appointment of Sarah Mensah, who steps in as VP and GM of North America — a post held for eight months by Ann Hebert until her resignation early this month. In her new role, Mensah is tasked with leading the Swoosh’s marketing, digital and sales departments, as well as its Direct and Consumer Construct strategies.
