Ian McMilan
Global Retail Marketing Lead
March 25th, 3 PM
Mr. McMilan leads Nike’s global retail stores marketing team. He also led a team tasked with launching omnichannel services across physical and digital retail and creating new, revenue-generating experiences and retail concepts.
Mr. McMilan believes that “people are still craving real-life experiences, and if you can create something that draws people in, then there’s always going to be space for you on the street and in their minds and in their hearts. At stores where consumers can fully customize a pair of shoes, from colors to their initials to whatever they want, that gives people a memory, and something to take home.”
Mr. McMilan is a former Division I football player for Princeton University and received a Master’s degree from Stanford University.
Questions to the speaker
Mr. McMilan discussion would inspire others by responding to questions such as:
What does a typical day at work look like during a pandemic for a senior executive?
What qualities are you looking for in a new generation of marketing professionals?
How difficult are career changes? Was it difficult to transition from a career in Finance to working for a global brand?
I want to make a difference in the world. Foster inclusion and diversity. Should I work for a global company?
With your career, if you could pick any job in the world, would it be the one you have now? If not, what would you rather do?
Would you have imagined being where you are now in college? What was your dream as a student, and how did you accomplish it?
The discussion will be moderated by George Benaroya, VP Finance, Global Controller, and CFO.
