(BUCKS) – Milwaukee Bucks President Peter Feigin is transitioning away from his role after leading the renaissance of the organization, cementing the team’s deep connection with the city, and spearheading the creation of Fiserv Forum and Deer District. Josh Glessing, who served as the Chief of Strategy & Development of Haslam Sports Group [HSG], takes over as Bucks President and will oversee team business operations. Glessing will work closely with Feigin during the coming months to ensure a seamless transition.
Since joining the Bucks in 2014, Feigin has played a pivotal role in transforming the franchise both on and off the court. Under his leadership, the organization experienced unprecedented growth, highlighted by the 2021 NBA Championship, record-setting business performance, the team’s rebrand, and the elevation of the Bucks as a global sports and entertainment force.
Glessing, a Manitowoc, Wisconsin native, has been associated with the Bucks for more than a decade, most recently leading HSG’s transaction of its investment into the Bucks in 2023. Prior to HSG, Glessing worked at Goldman Sachs in its global sports and entertainment investment banking practice, where he worked with Bucks ownership in the financing of Fiserv Forum. Beginning in 2023, Glessing spent two seasons as the interim President of Business for the MLS’ Columbus Crew, overseeing business operations, strategy, partnerships, and venue management, playing a key role in the organization’s sustained growth and innovation.
Glessing and his wife, Sarah, also a Wisconsin native, have two children, Greta and Charlie. Glessing was named to Sports Business Journal’s Forty Under 40 class of 2024, a prestigious award for executives and other decision-makers who represent the present and future of the sports industry.
