Over a 25-year international career, he has played a defining role in shaping how sport, brand, and business intersect across global markets. As a senior leader within one of the world’s most influential Fortune 500 companies, Kypriotis consistently combined strategic rigor with creative execution to deliver measurable business impact at scale. Most recently, as Global Vice President and CEO of Nike Brazil, he led the company’s integrated growth strategy, marketplace development, and overall brand direction in one of Nike’s most complex and critical markets. He held full P&L responsibility for operations exceeding US$1 billion in annual revenue and led all functional areas of the business. He was responsible for Nike Brazil’s long-term strategic planning through the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, and led the development of Nike Brazil’s 10-Year Business Plan. During this period, he pioneered several of Nike Brazil’s most impactful initiatives, including the Football Attack Plan, the sponsorship of the Brazilian Olympic Team, and the Nike–Rio Infusion Plan. As one of the 30 most senior leaders at Nike Inc., Kypriotis also served on the company’s Global Leadership Team, contributing to Nike’s Global Operating Strategy. Prior to Nike, he was CEO for Latin America and Global Vice President at Billabong Inc., where he led the Group’s brands to leadership positions and played a key role in strategic decisions including acquisitions, retail expansion, and corporate structure.
