“Ebube is an authentic leader with a future-oriented vision poised for a successful career. His diverse experience in operational and strategic roles in the supply chain, unparalleled storytelling abilities, and genuine concern for the team position him as a valuable asset to any organization. I had the opportunity of working with Ebube on two different occasions: My first interaction with Ebube was as his manager when he served as Converse's Director of Product Integrity. In this capacity, he spearheaded technological modernization, elevated the team's performance, and aligned various functions under a unified quality strategy. His efforts yielded tangible, positive outcomes, and his strategy was eventually adopted at the group level, a testament to his impactful work. My second time was as his peer when he was a Senior Director of Product Integrity for Apparel and Accessories at Nike. In this role, he led a global team of experts responsible for elevating the quality of our products and our partners' corporate quality management systems. Also, he drove the change management efforts for a tough organizational transition with care and empathy. He was a great contributor to the positive dynamics of our leadership team. His interest extended beyond the Product integrity function and made him a valuable contributor in different tactical and strategic forums. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Ebube and would recommend him highly and without reservations.”
