Adidas North America has a new leader, two months after its last head stepped down.
Experienced executive John Miller has spent more than 20 years in management positions at a number of sports and apparel companies, including 11 years at Nike. Miller worked at adidas for several years earlier in his career, according to his LinkedIn profile, including as a director of “mall sales” from 2004 to 2006.
Adidas named John Miller as president of Portland-based Adidas North America on Jan. 8. 2024. He previously worked for Adidas in the mid-2000's.

The company is viewing Miller’s hire as a homecoming and opportunity to “foster growth in North America.”
“We are happy to welcome John back to adidas as our new President of North America. John is a consumer-driven leader who has a strong record of success in executing growth strategies, repositioning and accelerating brands throughout his career,” said Arthur Hoeld, an executive board member, in a press statement.
Miller most recently worked at Puma.
He takes over for Rupert Campbell, who stepped down from the North America leadership post in October, after a challenging two years.
