According to a CNBC report, Creech will lead the design, brand and product division at Adopt. Nicole Graham, who served as VP Global Brand Marketing at Nike, will head strategy and brand. Josh Moore will oversee digital and design. Moore’s last role at Nike was VP & Global Head of Design, Digital, Stores and content.

“There is this opportunity we believe that exists in the sports and wellness space that we can come in, identify and uncover market opportunities,” Creech told CNBC in an interview.
