Peter Feigin Resigns as Bucks President; Josh Glessing Takes Charge

Peter Feigin has resigned as the president of the Milwaukee Bucks after serving in the role for 12 years. His departure was announced on Monday, marking the end of a significant chapter for the franchise. Feigin joined the team in 2014 and has been instrumental in shaping its identity and success.

In a statement regarding his resignation, Feigin expressed gratitude for his time with the Bucks. “Serving as President of the Milwaukee Bucks has been the honor of my professional life,” he stated. He highlighted the collaborative efforts with ownership, partners, players, and staff, emphasizing the achievements made during his tenure. “We built something truly special for this city and state,” he added, expressing confidence in the organization’s future.

Following Feigin’s departure, Josh Glessing has been appointed as the new president. Previously, Glessing served as the chief of strategy and development for the Haslam Sports Group. He brings a personal connection to the role, having grown up as a fan of the Bucks. “I was born a Bucks fan and I don’t need to learn what this team means to Milwaukee and the state of Wisconsin,” Glessing remarked in his first public statement as president. His familiarity with the franchise is expected to influence his leadership approach.

Feigin’s leadership was marked by several key initiatives that transformed the Bucks into a competitive force in the NBA. Under his guidance, the team not only secured its first championship in 50 years in 2021, but also played a crucial role in the construction of the state-of-the-art Fiserv Forum, which opened in 2018 and has become a central hub for sports and entertainment in Milwaukee.

As Glessing steps into his new role, he faces the challenge of continuing the momentum built over the past decade. His background in sports strategy and development positions him well to navigate the complexities of the NBA landscape. The Bucks have a strong roster and a passionate fan base, and Glessing’s leadership will be pivotal in maintaining the team’s success.

Feigin’s exit and Glessing’s appointment mark a significant transition for the Bucks as they prepare for the upcoming season. With a solid foundation established during Feigin’s presidency, stakeholders will be watching closely to see how Glessing’s vision unfolds in this new chapter for the franchise.
