Company’s shares rise on news former executive Elliott Hill will replace John Donahoe

Hill, who was at Nike for 32 years, was responsible for helping grow the business to more than $39bn (£29bn) in sales, ultimately leading all commercial and market operations for Nike and its Jordan brand, before retiring in 2020, the company said.
