The abrupt exit of two Nike Inc. executives this week has sparked concerns about conduct toward women at the world’s largest athletic brand, including what the Wall Street Journal described as the bullying of women and workers from outside the U.S.
Nike said on Friday that Jayme Martin, vice president and general manager of global categories, was no longer with the company. He reported to Trevor Edwards, president of Nike’s brand and a one-time CEO candidate, who stepped down from that role on Thursday.
