The Green Bay Packers will soon have a new president and CEO. According to the team statutes, Mark Murphy must retire at the age of 70. Green Bay may already have an idea as to who will succeed Murphy, who is 69 in July.
Since 2007, Mark Murphy has served as the Packers’ president and CEO. A New York native and former Super Bowl champion with the Washington Commanders, he was the athletic director at Colgate (1992-2003) and Northwestern (2003-2007). There are rumblings that the next CEO/President has already been identified.
The Green Bay Packers May Have Already Identified Their New CEO / President
The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman first reported the news:
With team president and CEO Mark Murphy now openly discussing his forced retirement in 2025, do you expect his replacement to come from within the organization? — Peter H.
Ed Policy appears to be a popular choice to succeed Murphy. He joined the Packers in 2012 as vice president and general counsel, and has been the chief operations officer and general counsel since 2018.
Policy, aged 53, was born and reared in the Midwest. After graduating from Notre Dame and Stanford, he worked as the Arena Football League’s deputy commissioner and president from 2001 to 2008. Following that, he served as the AFL’s acting commissioner from 2008 to 2009.
In 2009, he started working as an executive consultant with the National Football League. Green Bay hired him as vice president and general counsel in 2012, after only two seasons as an executive consultant. Policy was elevated to chief operating officer after holding the job till 2018.
A promotion to CEO would help to maintain continuity in the Packers’ structure. Murphy has done a lot for the Packers and the city of Green Bay. Policy has been in place for the most of it, and we hope to continue that work.
