Crate and Barrel Appoints Nike Veteran as COO — Retail Bum

Crate and Barrel has appointed Nike executive Mike Brewer as its chief operating officer.

Brewer brings 20 years of experience working for Nike, having served in several roles focusing on sourcing, manufacturing, and supply chain. He most recently served as the company’s global sourcing and manufacturing vice president.

At Crate and Barrel, Brewer will oversee the company’s entire portfolio, which includes Crate & Barrel, CB2, Crate & Kids, and Hudson Grace.

“I look forward to the leadership and expertise Mike will bring to [the company] with his customer-centric and purpose-driven mindset,” said Janet Hayes, CEO of Crate and Barrel Holdings. “We are confident his experience will further our goals of operational excellence and elevate the modern shopping experience and products our customers turn to brands for.”

Brewer is the second Nike executive Crate and Barrel has snapped in recent years. In November 2021, the company hired Nike’s former vice president of technology, Jason Booth, as its chief technology officer.

Crate and Barrel today operates more than 100 Crate & Barrel, CB2, and Hudson Grace stores across the U.S. and Canada, with franchise locations in nine countries.
