Benko is currently the vice chairman and managing principal of Deloitte LLP. Her addition to the U.S. sportswear firm's board is a result of her leadership and digital expertise, said Nike in a press release.

“Cathy’s proven leadership in advising the world’s most influential technology companies will be a tremendous benefit to Nike’s digital transformation," said Mark Parker, CEO of Nike.

A former leader in Deloitte’s ‘Digital Giants’ practice, Benko has guided several highly-respected global businesses in driving transformational efforts critical to creating shareholder value.

Appointed Deloitte Consulting’s first global e-business leader and subsequently serving as its technology sector leader, Benko helped position the firm’s services and capability development for the post-internet marketplace.

She subsequently went on to serve as Deloitte’s first chief talent officer where she devised a more agile and inclusive career development model. As the leader of Deloitte’s award-winning women’s initiative and broader inclusion focus, Benko has also led vanguard efforts that spurred innovation in diversity.

She is a graduate of Harvard Business School, and currently serves as a member of Catalyst’s Board of Advisors and chairs the HBS advisory council.
