There are countless cool things about working at Nike, Bob says. First, there are the people I’ve been blessed with meeting. More passion, energy and commitment than anywhere else in the corporate world. Next is Nike’s grounding in sports. I’ve always been a sports nut, and can think of no other company that gets me as jazzed as this place, he offers. I identify with every aspect of why Nike exists. |
