Adweek recently announced its Most Powerful Women in Sports list, and Jordan Brand’s own Andrea Perez was named. Perez, who has been with Nike for more than a decade, has been the Global Vice President and General Manager for Jordan Brand’s women’s division since 2017.
The honor comes as no surprise given that Jordan Brand’s women’s division has grown exponentially since Perez helped relaunch the category. From WNBA athletes to collabs to apparel, and general releases, Jordan Brand has risen to new heights for women with Perez leading the charge.
“Responsibilities expanded to driving consumer innovation, insights and product creation, in addition to digital, marketing, finance, strategy and merchandising,” according to Perez’s LinkedIn.
Perez, who was born in Guadalajara, Mexico, and played soccer and softball at Tecnológico de Monterrey, was also instrumental with Nike’s soccer division with her roles from Sr. Global Brand Director to General Manager of North America.
Perez is the only honoree on the Adweek list from a sneaker brand.
