Stanford will hire former Nike, ServiceNow, eBay and Bain & Company President/CEO John Donahoe as its next AD, per ESPN’s Pete Thamel and Seth Wickersham, who add: “Stanford coveted a non-traditional candidate for the role. […] He's viewed by school officials as a ‘unicorn candidate’ because of extensive business experience and ties to the school. He’s a Stanford MBA graduate from 1986 and brings a wide business background to the athletic department.” Elevate Talent assisted with the search. (link)
