Peter Feigin Resigns as Bucks President, Josh Glessing Takes Over

Peter Feigin has resigned as the president of the Milwaukee Bucks, effective immediately, after serving in the role for 12 years. Feigin’s departure marks the end of a significant era for the franchise, which he joined in 2014.

In a statement regarding his decision, Feigin expressed gratitude for his time with the organization. “Serving as President of the Milwaukee Bucks has been the honor of my professional life,” he stated. He reflected on the collaborative efforts with the ownership group, partners, players, and staff, emphasizing the accomplishments made during his tenure. “Together, we built something truly special for this city and state. I am incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished and confident that the organization is in tremendous shape,” he added.

Feigin’s leadership coincided with a transformative period for the Bucks, including their 2021 NBA Championship win, which ended a 50-year title drought for the franchise. Under his guidance, the team not only achieved on-court success but also expanded its community engagement and business initiatives.

Taking over from Feigin is Josh Glessing, who previously held the position of chief of strategy and development at the Haslam Sports Group. Glessing brings a deep personal connection to the Bucks, having been a lifelong fan. “I was born a Bucks fan and I don’t need to learn what this team means to Milwaukee and the state of Wisconsin,” he stated in his first remarks after the appointment. Glessing’s familiarity with the team’s culture and local significance is expected to guide his leadership approach.

The transition in leadership comes at a crucial time for the Bucks, as the team aims to build on its recent successes while navigating the challenges of maintaining competitive performance in the NBA. With Glessing at the helm, the organization is poised to continue its commitment to excellence both on and off the court.

As the Bucks move forward, Feigin’s legacy will remain integral to the franchise’s identity. His contributions have paved the way for future endeavors, and the team looks to Glessing to inspire new heights in the upcoming seasons.
