Nike, Inc. has hired Dantley Davis, former chief designer officer at Twitter, as VP of digital design.
Prior to working at Twitter from 2019 to 2022, he was director of product design at Facebook from 2016 to 2019 and design director at Netflix from 2009 to 2016. Davis also has worked at Yahoo and Paypal. Davis announced the hiring in a Twitter post.
Fast Company, noting that Nike confirmed the hire, said Davis “helped build Netflix and reenergize Twitter.” Fast Company added, “Designers with experience in the C-suite are rare. In Davis, Nike lands a hands-on designer-executive who studies user behavior closely, experiments publicly and has a fast metabolism for shipping product.”
