Nike hired James Loduca, formerly Twitter’s VP of DEI as its new DEI officer. As the Portland Business Journal reported, Loduca is the fifth person in the role since 2019. He replaces Jarvis Sam, who left after only six months in the job last November.
Loduca also confirmed his hire on LinkedIn.
“Excited to be joining Nike as its new Chief Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Officer! In an increasingly polarized time, sport is one of the few things that still brings us together. Nike believes that if you have a body, you are an athlete, and I’m thrilled to be joining the team and help lead efforts to create a level playing field where everyone can win,” wrote Loduca on LinkedIn.
Loduca was at Twitter for nearly four years. His previous roles include chair of the San Francisco Human Rights Commission; director, Equality, Salesforce; and senior vice president of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation.
