Nike’s Jan Singer Joins Spanx

Spanx has hired Jan Singer, Nike’s head of apparel, as its new CEO, reporting to founder Sara Blakely, the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire. Singer has also served as vice president of global footwear at Nike, also managed Reebok’s women’s business and held senior comms positions at Chanel, Calvin Klein and Prada. Blakely hired Coca-Cola executive Laurie-Ann Goldman to oversee the new undergarment line in 2002, but Goldman stepped down in February.
