Nike CEO Mark Parker to Deliver Otis College Commencement Address

In our continuing design school commencement speaker/honorary degree recipient round-up, we bring news that graduates of the Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles will hear from Nike president and CEO Mark Parker (pictured), who will deliver the commencement address at the Saturday ceremony and receive an honorary doctorate from the school. Parker, who joined Nike as a designer in 1979, has been involved in many of the company’s most significant breakthroughs (Nike Air, anyone?) and held leadership roles within seemingly every business function, from product development to marketing.
