MILWAUKEE (Jan. 5, 2026) – Milwaukee Bucks President Peter Feigin is transitioning away from his role, according to a release from the team.
Josh Glessing, who served as the Chief of Strategy & Development of Haslam Sports Group (HSG), will take over as Bucks President and will work with Feigin during the coming months on a transition plan.
“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.”
“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. 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.”

Feigin joined the Bucks in 2014, and did not provide a reason for his departure in a team statement.
“We thank Peter for his vision, energy, and relentless commitment that reshaped the Milwaukee Bucks and set a new standard for the NBA in his 12 years,” said Bucks majority owners Wes Edens, Jimmy and Dee Haslam, and Jamie Dinan. “In Josh, we are bringing in a leader who has been an important part of that success, and this transition reflects both continuity and confidence in the future of our organization.”
Glessing is a Manitowoc, Wisconsin native who attended Indiana University. He is also President of Business Operations for the HSG-owned Columbus Crew in Major League Soccer, a position he’s held since October of 2023.
“As a lifelong Bucks fan, I can confidently say that Peter’s impact in Milwaukee County will be felt for many years to come.” said Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, who stood onstage with Feigin and others during the Bucks’ NBA championship celebration in 2021.
Milwaukee alderman Bob Bauman who represents the downtown area said in a statement it was “deeply disappointing” to learn the news of Feigin’s departure.
“The old adage seems to apply here: If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.” said Bauman.
