If there was one guy that is more about Nike than Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman, that is Mark Parker, the current CEO of Nike, Inc. His superb loyalty to the brand and design vision along with a knack for business made him the perfect successor to Uncle Phil. Although he was not the one chosen to replace Knight when Knight first stepped down, but eventually Knight wised up and made Parker CEO after a lot of rumbling on campus about the initial choice. Nike as a company has grown so rapidly under Parker's guidance and as can be seen from his office in Nike WHQ in Beaverton, Oregon, it will be a very interesting and unique ride to the future.
