NIKE has been at the forefront of companies making a commitment to sustainability and equality and is Questioning the Status Quo with investments in local communities, standing up for racial justice, and innovations in circular supply chain business models. As a member of the senior leadership team at NIKE, Matthew will give us a wonderful opportunity to hear about these purpose-driven initiatives, his role in supporting them, and what lies ahead for Nike in these efforts.

Matthew started his career in investment banking after graduating from Berkeley, and went on to oversee the finances of a number of divisions within NIKE, ultimately being named CFO of the NIKE Brand in 2020. In conversation with MBA students, Matthew will also talk about his career journey in finance and the effect the pandemic has had on his leadership style.

There will be an opportunity for an audience Q&A, so please come with any questions you may have.
