Packers president: Mark Murphy era ends, Ed Policy era begins in Green Bay

A changing of the guard: Mark Murphy retired, and Ed Policy assumed the role of Packers president and CEO on Friday.

Roughly 13 months after being elected the new president and CEO of the Green Bay Packers, Ed Policy assumed the role from Mark Murphy at Friday's Annual Meeting of Shareholders inside Lambeau Field.

Murphy, who reached the mandatory retirement age of 70 in July, spoke for the final time as Packers president before handing over responsibilities to Policy, who has been preparing to take over for the last year under Murphy.

The changing of the guard is now official, and a new era begins in Green Bay.

Policy joined the Packers organization in 2012. He spent six years as vice president and general counsel before being promoted to chief operating officer and general counsel in 2018. Policy, the son of former NFL executive Carmen Policy, was previously an executive consultant for the NFL and a nine-year run as an executive for the Arena Football League, including three years as commissioner. In Green Bay, Policy has served as the organization's legal leader and helped lead the development of Titletown.

Across 17 seasons under Murphy's leadership, the Packers won Super Bowl XLV, eight NFC North titles and made the postseason 13 times. The team also invested millions and millions of dollars to upgrade Lambeau Field, improve facilities and work areas for players and coaches and develop Titletown areas around the stadium, and Murphy was instrumental in getting the 2025 NFL draft to Green Bay. Murphy is also leaving the Packers with a corporate reserve fund of almost $600 million.

The Packers Board of Directors elected Policy as Murphy's successor on June 24, 2024. He officially assumed the role on July 25, 2025.
