Under Armour’s Long-Time PR Chief Steps Down

Diane Pelkey, Under Armour’s long-time SVP of communications, shown above, has left the company. She joined Under Armour in 2007.

Previously, she had worked for Reebok and Adidas for 13 years.

Under Armour said in a statement,  “After more than a decade as a member of the Under Armour family, Diane has decided to pursue a new opportunity. We thank her for everything she has done for the brand and look forward to sharing the news soon on our newly appointed global head of communications.”

Pelkey’s exit follows the departure in December of Erin Wendell, formerly a senior director for communications, who became chief marketing officer at ivWatch in Williamsburg, VA.
