Josh Glessing will take over as president and oversee the team's business operations.
Glessing will work closely with Feigin during the coming months to ensure a seamless transition.
Since joining the Bucks in 2014, Feigin has played a pivotal role in transforming the franchise both on and off the court
Under his leadership, the organization experienced unprecedented growth, highlighted by the 2021 NBA Championship, record-setting business performance, the team's rebrand, and the elevation of the Bucks as a global sports and entertainment force.
"Serving as President of the Milwaukee Bucks has been the honor of my professional life," said Feigin. "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."
Glessing, a Wisconsin native, has been associated with the Bucks for more than a decade, most recently leading HSG's transaction of its investment into the Bucks in 2023.
Prior to HSG, Glessing worked at Goldman Sachs in its global sports and entertainment investment banking practice, where he worked with Bucks ownership in the financing of Fiserv Forum.
Beginning in 2023, Glessing spent two seasons as the interim President of Business Operations for the MLS's Columbus Crew, overseeing business operations, strategy, partnerships, and venue management, playing a key role in the organization's sustained growth and innovation.
"I am grateful to HSG and the Bucks ownership group for entrusting me with this extraordinary opportunity," 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."
Glessing was named to the Sports Business Journal's Forty Under 40 class of 2024, a prestigious award for executives and other decision-makers who represent the present and future of the sports industry.
