Nike’s North America VP Resigns After She is Found to Be Tied to This

Nike’s North America general manager and vice president, Ann Hebert, has resigned from the company after reports tied her with her son’s sneaker resale store.

The retail giant made the statement of Hebert’s resignation this week which was effective March 1st.

Bloomberg had originally reported that her 19-year-old son, Joe Hebert, allegedly used his mother’s credit card information to buy shoes for his sneaker resale business, West Coast Streetwear.

A corporate American Express card revealed that the business used was registered in his mother’s name.

The Bloomberg report, published at the end of February, featured a Nike spokesperson stating that there was “no violation of company policy, privileged information or conflicts of interest, nor is there any commercial affiliation between WCS LLC and Nike, including the direct buying or selling of Nike products.”

“Ann Hebert made the decision to resign from Nike,” a Nike spokesperson told USA TODAY.

Hebert’s son had spent more than $200,000 on about 2,000 pairs of shoes, according to Bloomberg. West Coast Streetwear’s Twitter account is currently unavailable.
