In his most recent role as NIKE\u2019s Vice President of Global Brand Innovation, he led teams tasked with envisioning the future of storytelling and consumer experiences for the brand.<\/p>\n<p>Greg oversaw NIKE\u2019s brand communications and experiences as NIKE was solidifying its position as one of the preeminent brand storytellers of the modern era and the leading innovator in digital and physical brand experiences. His role in the rise of marketing and design through that period was recognized in 2015 when Fast Company named him one of the Most Creative People in Business. He\u2019s also been recognized for his transformative leadership in the industry through the Business Insider\u2019s 50 Most Innovative CMOs and AdAge\u2019s Power Players annual lists.<\/p>\n<p>For over two decades, he was a major strategic and creative influence for Nike at every major global sporting event, for the launches of NIKE\u2019s signature products and innovations, and for the building of the brands of its athletes.<\/p>\n<p>Through his leadership, Nike drove themes of equality, sustainability, and empowerment through sport in some of its most significant brand communications. That work was, in part, driven by his role on the Advisory Board of the NIKE Black Employee Network and as a member of the NIKE Foundation Board of Directors.<\/p>\n<p>Today as founder and principal of Modern Arena, Greg advises Fortune 1000 brands, startups, and nonprofits in creating brand strength, business growth, and social impact.
