Nike Inc. said it is replacing its chief diversity officer, adding a Black woman to its leadership team at a time that the sneaker giant and other brands are promising to improve diversity and speaking out on social issues.

耐克公司(Nike Inc.)説,它正在更換首席多樣性官,在這家運動鞋巨頭和其他品牌承諾提高多樣性並就社會問題大聲疾呼之際,該公司的領導團隊增加了一名黑人女性。

Kellie Leonard, the company's chief diversity and inclusion officer, is leaving to pursue other interests, according to a Nike spokesman. Nike said Felicia Mayo, a former diversity chief at Tesla Inc. who joined Nike last year, will lead a newly formed team as chief talent, diversity and culture officer.

耐克發言人表示,該公司首席多樣性和包容性官凱莉·倫納德(Kellie Leonard)將離職,以追求其他利益。耐克説,去年加入耐克的特斯拉公司(Tesla Inc.)前多樣性主管費利西亞·梅奧(Felicia Mayo)將領導一個新組建的團隊,擔任首席人才、多樣性和文化官。

Under pressure to address racial divisions and inequities within their organizations, U.S. companies are rushing to hire chief diversity officers or elevate existing leaders to the position. The role has long been marked by high turnover, according to current and former diversity chiefs. Ms. Leonard's exit was earlier reported by the Financial Times.

在解決組織內種族分歧和不平等問題的壓力下,美國公司正爭先恐後地聘請首席多樣性官或提拔現有領導人擔任這一職位。據現任和前任多元化首席執行官表示,該職位長期以來的特點是人員流動率很高。英國《金融時報》早些時候報道了倫納德的離職。

Ms. Leonard, an 18-year Nike veteran, was appointed to the diversity and inclusion job in April 2018 after a series of executive exits in the wake of complaints about the company's workplace culture. She reported to Nike's human-resources chief, who at the time said Nike had failed to promote enough women and minorities.

在耐克工作了18年的倫納德於2018年4月被任命為多元化和包容性職位,此前在該公司的工作場所文化受到投訴後,她經歷了一系列高管離職。她向耐克人力資源部主管彙報,後者當時稱耐克未能提拔足夠多的女性和少數族裔。

Ms. Mayo was an HR executive in Silicon Valley for 16 years before spending two years at Tesla, according to her LinkedIn profile. Other people of color on Nike's leadership team are its strategy chief and the heads of the Jordan and Converse brands. Nike has said that Black vice presidents represented 9.9% of its U.S. total in 2019, and 21% of VPs are from underrepresented groups.

梅奧在LinkedIn上的個人資料顯示,她在硅谷做了16年的人力資源主管,之後在特斯拉工作了兩年。耐克領導團隊中的其他有色人種是其戰略主管以及喬丹(Jordan)和匡威(Converse)品牌的負責人。耐克曾表示,2019年黑人副總裁佔其美國副總裁總數的9.9%,21%的副總裁來自代表性不足的羣體。

Nike has been restructuring its leadership team since John Donahoe took over as CEO earlier this year.

自約翰·多納霍(John Donahoe)今年早些時候接任首席執行官以來,耐克一直在重組其領導團隊。

In February, Mr. Donahoe said the company's consumer president and its chief operating officer were leaving, and last week he named three Nike veterans to run consumer segments as part of a reorganization that will eliminate an unspecified number of jobs. The company said it expected to book termination costs of $200 million to $250 million.

今年2月,多納霍表示,該公司的消費者總裁和首席運營官即將離職。上週,他任命三名耐克資深員工負責消費者細分市場,這是一項重組計劃的一部分,該計劃將裁員數量不詳。該公司表示,預計將計入2億至2.5億美元的終止成本。

In 2018, Nike launched an ad campaign that featured NFL quarterback turned activist Colin Kaepernick, whose "take a knee" protest against police brutality and inequality ignited a nationwide debate.

2018年,耐克發起了一場廣告宣傳活動,主角是NFL四分衞、後來成為活動家的科林·凱珀尼克(Colin Kaepernick),他對警察暴行和不平等的抗議引發了一場全國性的辯論。

In response to the killing of George Floyd, Nike pledged to invest $40 million over four years to support organizations focused on social justice, education and racial inequality in the U.S. In addition, Michael Jordan and Nike subsidiary Jordan Brand said they would donate $100 million over the next 10 years to those causes.

作為對喬治·弗洛伊德遇害事件的迴應,耐克承諾在四年內投資4000萬美元,支持美國專注於社會正義、教育和種族不平等的組織。此外,邁克爾·喬丹和耐克子公司喬丹·布蘭德表示,他們將在未來10年向這些事業捐贈1億美元。
