Herbert Hainer was CEO of Adidas from 2001 to 2016. In November 2019, he succeeded Uli Hoeness as President of FC Bayern. "When our daughter died, he was the first to call and ask how he could help. It's not who laughs with you when you're doing well that matters. You have lots of friends. What matters is who cries with you when you're feeling bad," Hainer once said.
