Nike replaces chief financial officer
Nike has appointed David Denton will as chief financial officer, replacing Matthew Friend.
Denton will lead Nike’s global finance organisation, partnering with CEO Elliott Hill and the senior leadership team.
Mr Hill said: “Dave is a proven public-company CFO who knows how to help great consumer brands operate with discipline and invest to win.
"This is a natural moment for a leadership transition as we move from foundational actions to sustained growth through our ‘sport offense’ operating model.”
Denton joins Nike from Pfizer, where he has served as chief financial officer and executive vice-president since May 2022. He brings more than 30 years of finance and operating leadership experience.
Nike will report fourth quarter and fiscal year 2026 results on June 30. These will include a benefit from tariff refunds.
