Emily Silver (Dick’s Sporting Goods) | Sports, Leadership, and Thriving Through Change | From the Vault

With the Olympics bringing the world together once again through sport, we’re sharing an episode worth revisiting that feels especially timely.

This week, join us as we reach into the vault to share an episode captured live at the Adobe Summit in Las Vegas in March 2025. Jim was joined on stage by Emily Silver, SVP, Chief Marketing, eCommerce & Athlete Experience Officer at Dick’s Sporting Goods, the $13 billion revenue retailer.

Dick’s was founded by Dick Stack in 1948 with his first product line, bait and tackle. Today, Pittsburgh based Dick’s Sporting Goods has more than 850 stores and a variety of other experience centers and platforms, all focused on sports, and is a major partner of Team USA and the official sporting goods retail provider for the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Emily has worked at Dick’s for about 18 months after spending over 16 years at PepsiCo in about nine different roles. Her CEO, Lauren Hobart, was appointed Dick’s CMO in 2011 and previously held that role for several years.

Tune in for a personal conversation that speaks to the positive influence of sports, something we as a community have been reminded of through watching the Olympic and Paralympic Games this year.
