Peddie takes over his new role from Scott Uzzell, who is leaving the company. Uzzell previously served as the chief executive officer and president of Converse until 2023 when he became Nike’s GM for North America.

Nike Inc. named a recently returned executive to oversee North America ahead of the arrival of new Chief Executive Officer Elliott Hill.

The naming of Tom Peddie as Nike’s general manager of North America comes days ahead of incoming Chief Executive Elliott Hill’s first day on the job.
