It has been a long time coming for the Green Bay Packers. On Monday, the organization finally made its decision on who their next man at the helm will be.
This privilege and this burden will fall on the able shoulders of Chief Operating Officer Ed Policy who has now been named as the organization’s new chairman, president, and Chief Executive Officer.
Policy will take on the role once current chairman Mark Murphy resigns from the post in 2025.

Along with the official announcement, Policy also released a statement about this monumental decision. He thanked the organization for their trust in him as he expressed how much he’s looking forward to taking over:
“Thank you to the search committee for their thorough work in this process. I’m excited about this coming season and the future of the Packers,” Policy said (h/t Myles Simmons of PFT).
Policy went on to promise that he intends to do everything in his power to lead the Packers to glory:
“I am incredibly honored, excited, and grateful to the search committee, the Board, the shareholders, and the entire organization for this treasured and one-of-a-kind opportunity,” Policy said in a statement. “I am particularly grateful to Mark for 12 years of mentorship. I am looking forward to building on his leadership and considerable success on and off the field.
“This is the absolute best job in sports. We are the stewards of the most iconic and unique organization in all of professional sports. I am excited to continue to work with so many talented teammates who have ensured the Packers’ consistent success on and off the field. We are the people’s team, and I love being a part of it.
“We will continue our relentless focus on building a winning culture that transcends the playing field. The Lombardi Trophy will always be our North Star and ensuring a positive impact on our community will continue to be paramount in our decision-making. We have the greatest fans in sports and will never take their commitment to the Packers for granted.”

“Congratulations to Ed on this well-deserved promotion to what I believe is the most unique and meaningful position in the world of professional sports,” Murphy said in a statement released by the team. “Ed has been a tremendous asset to the organization during his 12 years here and has been greatly instrumental in our success. His work on Titletown has been particularly impactful. He is highly respected — both in the building and within the NFL. I’ve enjoyed working with him and am confident he will be an excellent steward for the organization.
“In the coming year, he and I will continue to work closely together to ensure a smooth transition for our employees, players, and fans.
