The CEO shuffle continues, this time at Nike.

Mark Parker, who's helmed the sneaker giant for the last 13 years, will be replaced by board member John Donahoe as of Jan. 13, Nike announced Tuesday. Parker will take on the new role of executive chairman and continue to head the company's board.

“This is an exciting time for Nike where we see brand strength and momentum throughout the world and great opportunity for future growth,” Parker said in a statement.

Donahoe, president and CEO of ServiceNow, is the former CEO of retail site eBay, as well as Bain & Co.

The leadership change was announced the same day that rival Under Armour said its founder and CEO Kevin Plank will be stepping down, becoming the company's executive chairman and brand chief as of Jan. 1.

Nike's sales have been on the rise as the company focuses on selling more of its swoosh-branded sneakers online and on its apps. The company's first quarter earnings last month soared past expectations. But Nike has also been plagued by scandals recently.

Three weeks ago, renowned track coach Alberto Salazar was banned from the sport for four years by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency for running experiments with supplements and testosterone that were bankrolled and supported by Nike, along with possessing and trafficking testosterone. Nike announced that it was shutting down its elite Oregon Project track and field program overseen by Salazar in the wake of the scandal.

Parker said in a TV interview with CNBC Tuesday that the scandal had "absolutely nothing" with him leaving the top job and that succession plans have been months in the making.

"This is not something that happens in a matter of weeks," he said.

Last year, allegations of misconduct and gender discrimination led to a leadership shakeup at the company. And earlier this spring, Nike announced changes to its contract policies after the New York Times published opinion articles and videos from female runners saying they risked losing pay if they became pregnant.

Nike shares dipped less than 1% to $95.60 in after-hours trading.
