How is CS doing in greater china? Insiders tell me she’s jealous she didn’t get the VP of EMEA and is nearly ready to give up already.
Thoughts?
Is APLA sticking around after 1 June? I also heard not.

CS is ”…eager to reset the geography together”, with the Greater China team.🐎🧮🥠🥡

@f1 how will ''they'' (cs) cook the books?!
I heard she's miserable and struggling there.
that is by design
they need an american to falsify the numbers coming from china. a chineese national wouldnt play ball with that as CCP is pretty ruthless when it comes to corruption
Just a friendly reminder of the announcement.

omg this thread is pure gold. what a disaster...
CC is only interim GM of APLA, they won't make it to fiscial 27!
CS did try to leave in 2017, that is correct, they took sabbatocal and were'nt gonna come back by they played games and HON got her back. Hopefully they both end upn jobless
@b5 I thought the prior person was from China (ie: AD).
CS = ”China Savior”
GC is such a unique market and one that has been significantly underperforming. You would think leadership would hire someone FROM China with an actual understanding of the complex market, yet we ended up with CS lol
CS is there for a reason. I get there’s a business to fix in GC, but there’s gotta be a bigger picture EH is thinking about. Especially since APLA still doesn’t have an official GM…go figure
CS stands for “clueless simpleton”
@as meant to say HON begged her to come back
CS was going to jump ship years ago and took a "break" for a while as Nike paid her to think about if she wanted to continue working for Nike. HOD begged her to come back! So that is now our new leader of China?!?!
CS being appointed GC leader was the nail in the coffin in trusting EH. It’s clear he has no idea what he’s doing.
Soon, APLA will no longer exist.
The only hope is if HON grabs her to work for lulu. If she even makes it till September in the ceo chair with all this backlash lolol haha!!!
Yeah they are sticking around permanently I heard, unfortunately
