Nike's North America VP resigns after report ties her with son's sneaker resale store

Nike's North America general manager and vice president, Ann Hebert, resigned from the company, according to a statement from the retail giant.

Hebert's resignation, effective March 1, comes after Bloomberg reported her 19-year-old son, Joe Hebert, allegedly used his mother's credit card information to buy shoes for his sneaker resale business, West Coast Streetwear. A corporate American Express card the business used was registered in his mother’s name, said the media outlet.

Ann Hebert had spent 25 years at the company before her resignation.

In the report, published Feb. 25, a Nike spokesperson stated there was "no violation of company policy, privileged information or conflicts of interest, nor is there any commercial affiliation between WCS LLC and Nike, including the direct buying or selling of Nike products."

Ann Hebert made the decision to resign the company, a Nike spokesperson told USA TODAY.

Joe Hebert spent more than $200,000 on about 2,000 pairs of shoes, according to Bloomberg. West Coast Streetwear's Twitter account is currently unavailable.
