Green Bay, Wisconsin – The Green Bay Packers are gearing up for a new era as they announced the search process for the organization’s next leader. Mark Murphy, the current President and CEO since 2007, will be stepping down when he turns 70 in July 2025, as mandated by the organization’s by-laws. To facilitate this transition, the Packers have unveiled a comprehensive plan for finding Murphy’s successor.
Susan Finco, Packers executive committee vice president and lead director, will lead the search committee, with Dan Ariens as the vice chair. The committee comprises a diverse group of individuals from various industries, including board members, the Packers Foundation chair, and former players. This inclusive approach aims to ensure a thorough and well-rounded selection process.
Korn Ferry, a reputable national search firm, has been enlisted to assist the search committee in identifying the next leader of the Green Bay Packers. The firm’s extensive experience and track record in working with the NFL and its teams make them a valuable partner in this critical endeavor.
According to Ariens, the search committee is taking their responsibility seriously, recognizing the significance of selecting a leader who will shape the future of the Packers. The comprehensive search process will align with NFL rules and requirements and is expected to take six to nine months to complete.
The final step of the process will be for the search committee to present their recommended candidate to the board of directors for a vote. Following the board’s approval, the transition to the new President and CEO will involve a period of collaboration with Murphy to ensure a smooth handover of responsibilities. Overall, the Packers are looking forward to the insights and expertise that the new leader will bring to the organization as they continue their legacy in the NFL.
