LVMH's Arnault Joins Nike Board as Sportswear Giant Set to Lose S&P 100 Spot
The appointment adds luxury and digital brand expertise as Nike works to revive sales after a 2% revenue decline in fiscal 2026.
- On Wednesday, Nike Inc. appointed Alexandre Arnault, deputy CEO of Moët Hennessy, to its board of directors, strengthening leadership as the sportswear giant navigates significant challenges.
- The appointment arrives as Nike struggles with its 'Win Now' turnaround plan introduced by CEO Elliott Hill in September 2024, with fiscal 2026 revenues falling 2% to $46.4 billion.
- Arnault, son of Bernard Arnault, brings four years leading Rimowa and four years as executive vice president at Tiffany, making him Nike's first board member from the luxury sector.
- Nike faces delisting from the S&P 100 on September 21 for the first time in 18 years, following an about 80% stock decline, intensifying pressure on the turnaround effort.
- Hill emphasized executives are building for the next decade rather than managing quarter-to-quarter, with first-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings due October 1 as Nike seeks long-term consumer reconnection.
