Lauren R. Hobart is President & Chief Executive Officer of DICK'S Sporting Goods. She is the third CEO in the company's history.
Hobart joined DICK'S in February 2011 as Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). In her time as CMO, she revamped the company's marketing efforts, drove significant improvement in the ROI of the marketing spend and launched pivotal DICK’S brand building and engagement efforts. In 2015, Hobart was promoted to Executive Vice President and CMO and later to Executive Vice President, Chief Customer & Digital Officer. She became President of DICK'S in May 2017 overseeing stores, marketing, eCommerce, technology, HR, communications, legal and strategy & analytics organizations.

DICK'S and The DICK'S Sporting Goods Foundation have given over $210 million in grants and sponsorships since 2014 to raise awareness and address the growing issue of underfunded youth sports programs nationwide.
