Michael Jordan and Jordan Brand, a division of Nike, announced that they hired a new CEO to lead Jordan brand in a new era. Keith Houlemard has been named President of the Jordan Brand. Houlemard will be responsible for driving continued market leadership and growth for all aspects of the Jordan Brand. Houlemard replaces Garry Cook.
Houlemard, 43, has been with Nike for more than 19 years working in various leadership roles including Apparel Director for Jordan Brand, U.S. Sales Director and U.S. Footwear Director.
Most recently as U.S. Director for Footwear Merchandising, Houlemard developed a growth strategy across Nike’s key categories and re-aligned the merchandising organization which resulted in significant business growth. In his new role, Houlemard will report directly to Craig Zanon, head of global basketball for Nike.
“Keith brings strong brand experience and a deep understanding of the basketball consumer,” said Nike Brand President Charlie Denson. “The Jordan Brand is strong and has tremendous global potential. We look forward to his leadership as we continue to grow the Jordan Brand and connect with consumers worldwide.”
Michael Jordan, commenting on Houlemard’s appointment, said: “Keith has solid experience and a keen understanding of the consumer market. As the Jordan Brand enters a new era, we welcome his return and look forward to his leadership.”

What is the difference between the Iphone first generation and the iphone 3G? I know this sounds stupid but how do I know which one I have? My husband bought it for me in February.. Isn’t the new one the 3GS? I am so confused now!!!! I want to buy an otterbox and now I am not sure which one I have to buy the correct size box. Apparently there is a size difference…
