Nike to cut 1400 jobs as technology teams face hardest layoffs in global operations shuffle

A COO memo flags a leaner tech setup in hubs

Nike plans to eliminate about 1,400 roles in its global operations business, with technology teams hit the hardest, COO Venkatesh Alagirisamy said in an internal memo. The move is part of the final phase of a turnaround effort “to make Nike simpler and faster,” merging systems, streamlining structures, and reshaping infrastructure and supply-chain alignment. Managers will personally notify affected staff.
