Nike CEO says focus on its own website and stores went too far as it embraces wholesale retailers again
cnbc.com/2024/04/12/nike-ceo-acknowledges-it-went-too-far-in-direct-push.html
Quick Glance: Nike CEO Acknowledges Shift from Direct Sales Focus
- Nike CEO John Donahoe acknowledged that the company deviated too far from wholesale partners like Macy's and DSW in its pursuit of primarily selling products through its own stores and website.

- Some analysts view Nike's avoidance of wholesale partners as a misstep that hindered the company's progress in innovation and product development.
