*Nike did not say why one of its senior executives will step down in August but rumor has it, his resignation comes amid reports of inappropriate behavior.
Trevor Edwards, Nike brand president who had been seen as a possible future CEO, is leaving the company. The Wall Street Journal reported that his resignation was announced to employees in an internal memo that said the company had received complaints about inappropriate workplace behavior, per msn.com.
The growth of the “#MeToo” movement has encouraged employees to speak out and now many companies are taking reports more seriously.
Edwards joined Nike in 1992 and was the No. 2 executive at the company. With his departure, CEO Mark Parker now plans to remain in his current role through 2020.
Nike Inc. representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment but said in a news release that Parker will remain as chairman, president and CEO beyond 2020, and detailed other executive changes.
