JEFFREY HOUSLEY

Summary

My career journey started with Nike at seventeen years old as a retail sales associate, and I have been blessed to grow with the brand through more than twenty roles over the past twenty-four years. I am deeply passionate about coaching and mentoring people with a focus on building self-awareness in order to cultivate their native genius and drive them to reach their full potential. I love Nike and strive to embody the qualities that the Swoosh represents to me - inspiration, tenacity, grit, courage, and the endless pursuit of better. In my personal life, my family and my faith are the key pillars of my life. I have been happily married to my wife, Leslie, for more than twenty years and we have three adult children. I was also blessed to become a grandparent in 2024!
