Nike Inc. announced on Monday the promotion of Treasure Heinle to the role of executive vice president and chief human resources officer, effective January 6.

In her new role, Heinle will be responsible for leading the global HR function and managing Nike’s people vision and strategy. She succeeds Monique Matheson who has decided to retire from Nike after 26 years with the company. 

As a member of the company’s senior leadership team, Heinle will report to ​Elliott Hill, President & CEO, Nike.

She began her career at the U.S. sportswear giant in 2012 as VP, HR business partner for North America. Since then, she has led business HR for the company’s global operations and global consumer and marketplace teams, before being named the company’s chief talent officer in 2022.

Treasure is a well-rounded leader who, during her extensive career, has successfully worked across all aspects of the HR function,” said Hill.

“She has a strong record of bringing the best to Nike driving a winning culture and building inclusive, world-class teams that deliver on the company’s growth strategy.”

Matheson joined Nike in 1998 and held HR leadership positions across the company before taking on the chief human resources officer role in 2017.

“Throughout her career, Monique has been committed to creating a high-performance workplace, prioritizing the teammate experience and establishing Nike as a top talent destination,” added Hill. “We are grateful for her many contributions and wish her all the best in her retirement.”

The promotion comes just weeks after ​Nike promoted Kizmet Mills to the role of chief diversity equity and inclusion officer, effective November 11, the fifth person to take on the role since 2020.
