Adidas AG revealed it has appointed Michelle Robertson as the company’s executive board member, who will be in charge of global human resources, culture, and people. An official at the company said that she was selected for her extensive expertise in the HR field.
Adidas Aims to Become Best Employer with Robertson’s Help
Robertson’s appointment at Adidas will take effect on Jan. 1, 2024. She is expected to help the company boost its position as one of the best employers on the international scene.
As mentioned on Fashion United, the newly assigned executive board member is of British descent. She has held various HR positions for more than 18 years, and prior to joining Adidas, she was with Reebok in the same role. At the company, she has been leading the global human resources unit since July this year.

Adidas’ chief executive officer, Bjørn Gulden, commented that the new executive board member had done a good job accepting the interim lead role of the company’s Global HR function. The CEO went on to say that Robertson knows the industry, the company, and most importantly, she knows the organization’s people. “I could not ask for a better partner to make sure that we continue to be a people-driven, diverse, and inclusive workplace,” he said.
“We are extremely pleased that we can appoint another strong internal candidate to our Executive Board. We are also happy to have the important Human Resources function back on the Board level,” Adidas AG’s supervisory board chairman, Thomas Rabe, said in a press release. “With her profound HR expertise, genuine care for people and passion for the brand, Michelle will help us to further strengthen adidas’ position as one of the best employers globally.”
