Bucks president Peter Feigin leaves organization, Haslam group’s Josh Glessing in

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The Milwaukee Bucks announced Jan. 5 that team and Fiserv Forum president Peter Feigin is moving out of that role after 12 seasons.

Josh Glessing, a Wisconsin native and currently the chief of strategy and corporate development for the Haslam Sports Group, moves into that role immediately. According to the team, Feigin will work with Glessing over the “coming months” to help with his transition.

Jimmy and Dee Haslam are the managing partners of the Haslam Sports Group, which bought a 25% share of the Bucks in 2023. The HSG also owns the Cleveland Browns of the NFL and the Columbus Crew of Major League Soccer, and Glessing had spent 2023-25 as the interim president of business for the Crew.

Glessing had a previous relationship with Bucks co-owner Wes Edens while Glessing worked at Goldman Sachs. According to the Bucks, Glessing was involved in helping Edens and former co-owner Marc Lasry with the financing of Fiserv Forum, which was opened in 2018.

In a statement released by the Bucks, Glessing said, “I was born a Bucks fan and I don’t need to learn what this team means to Milwaukee and the state of Wisconsin. I have known it my entire life. The Bucks have an exceptional foundation, and I look forward to continuing to build on our success while staying true to our commitment to winning, providing best-in-class experiences for our fans, and delivering meaningful impact for the community.”

Edens is currently the governor of the Bucks, which means he represents the organization in all NBA matters. The Bucks have a unique structure in that their governorship rotates between Edens and Haslam every five seasons, and Haslam is set to take over that role for 2028-29.

Feigin joined the Bucks in 2014 after working as the chief marketing officer and revenue officer for Deluxe Entertainment Service Group in Burbank, California. Feigin added the title of president of Fiserv Forum after the arena opened in 2018, a venue he played a key role in securing $524 million of public-private financing.

Feigin also is credited with fostering a greater community presence by the organization.

“Serving as President of the Milwaukee Bucks has been the honor of my professional life,” Feigin said in a release issued by the team. “Together with our ownership group, partners, players, and an incredible staff, 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.”
