The award is\u00a0presented annually to an individual who has led from the front and made an unparalleled impact on the sports industry across their career. Following in the footsteps of last years recipient, Carlo Ancelotti, Aspire honoured former CEO of Adidas Group, Herbert Hainer.<\/p>\n<p>Herbert has done a tremendous job for the Adidas\u00a0Group. After joining Adidas in 1987, he has had various management positions and was appointed CEO in 2001. Under his leadership, Adidas Group sales have tripled, net\u00a0income and the number of employees have quadrupled, and the value\u00a0of the company has increased from \u20ac3 billion to \u20ac18 billion. Yet it is not\u00a0only the financial metrics that are notable: under Herbert, the Adidas\u00a0Group has become one of the most sustainable corporations in Europe\u00a0and one of the world\u2019s most attractive employers.<\/p>\n<p>Nominations for the 2017 Leaders Under 40 Awards are now open &#8211; for more information <a href=\"https:\/\/leadersinsport.com\/leaders-under-40-awards\/\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n                                <\/div>\n                            \n                            \n                            \n                                                    <\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"col visibly-hidden col--flex-align-right\">\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delighted to announce that Herbert Hainer has been awarded the 2016 Inspirational Leader Award, presented by Aspire Academy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":154,"menu_order":0,"template":"","categories":[1],"class_list":["post-153","press-releases","type-press-releases","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
