Intern named Nike CEO in stunning promotion: ‘Best LinkedIn profile ever’ Elliott Hill’s LinkedIn profile has gone viral after he was announced the new CEO of global sportswear giant Nike.

A man shared his promotion on LinkedIn, but it created complications when a co-worker who thought he’d been passed over unfairly sent “a slew of unhinged texts” to the promoted man.

LinkedIn users quickly expressed their disdain for Wallake's post — even going so far as to say he used his grandmother's death for his own gain. So far, the post has received 128 comments.
