About this event

Join us for a conversation with Jordan Clarke, Drake alumnus, former professional basketball player, and Global General Manager at Jordan Brand, where he leads the brand's Global Football, American Football, Baseball, and Training businesses.

After a basketball career that took him from Drake to professional leagues across Europe and South America, Clarke transitioned into business and ultimately found his way to Nike. Today, he helps shape strategy, product innovation, and storytelling for one of the world's most recognizable brands.

In this engaging conversation, Clarke will share lessons on leadership, resilience, career reinvention, and what it takes to build and grow businesses on a global scale. Whether you're navigating change in your own career or looking for inspiration from a fellow Bulldog, you won't want to miss this discussion. Moderated by Drake senior Kenton Ausmer.
