As vice president and chief financial officer of the NIKE Brand, Tom Arndorfer is responsible for maximizing shareholder value created across the NIKE Brand, which is a portfolio of businesses, totaling almost $15 billion in revenues accounting for 90 percent of NIKE Inc’s total company revenues in fiscal 2007.
The defining moment in sports for Tom is when Dick Hoyt, 59, and his quadriplegic son, Rick, finished the 1999 Ironman Triathlon in Kona, Hawaii. Despite the grueling heat, the physical demands and their unique situation, Team Hoyt prevailed, finishing in 16 hours and 15 minutes. Theirs is a story of commitment, dedication, triumph, love and father’s devotion to his son, Tom said. Do yourself a favor and watch Team Hoyt in action. Good luck not getting choked up. Guaranteed, you’ll never forget it. |
