Nike announced the replacement of its first-ever chief diversity officer Kellie Leonard--nominated in 2018--with a former diversity chief of Tesla, Felicia Mayo. Adding a Black woman to its leadership team sends positive signals at the gender and ethnic diversity level to socially concerned investors. With Mayo's nomination, Nike materializes its public commitment to work to end racial inequality, made by several companies following the killing of George Floyd and subsequent protests. The company had also pledged $40 million over the next four years to support U.S. organizations tackling racial inequality. Former U.S. basketball player Michael Jordan and Nike subsidiary Jordan Brand have extended this pledge, promising to donate $100 million over the next 10 years for social justice initiatives.
耐克宣佈，其首位首席多樣性官凱莉·倫納德(Kellie Leonard)將由特斯拉(Tesla)前多樣性主管費利西亞·梅奧(Felicia Mayo)接替。凱莉·倫納德於2018年被提名。在其領導團隊中增加一名黑人女性，在性別和種族多樣性層面上向關注社會的投資者發出了積極的信號。有了梅奧的提名，耐克實現了其致力於結束種族不平等的公開承諾，這是喬治·弗洛伊德(George Floyd)被殺後幾家公司做出的承諾，以及隨後的抗議活動。該公司還承諾在未來四年提供4000萬美元，支持美國解決種族不平等問題的組織。前美國籃球運動員邁克爾·喬丹(Michael Jordan)和耐克(Nike)子公司喬丹·布蘭德(Jordan Brand)延長了這一承諾，承諾在未來10年為社會正義倡議捐贈1億美元。
