More on Tod Leiweke
Description from Wikipedia:
Tod Leiweke (born January 12, 1960 in St. Louis, Missouri) is an American sports executive. He is currently the Chief Executive Officer of the Seattle Seahawks National Football League team, owned by Paul Allen; Leiweke also is the CEO of Vulcan Sports and Entertainment (VSE), a management company also owned by Allen which oversees Allen's sports-related properties.
Leiweke joined the Seahawks in 2003. In 2005, he was instrumental in the firing of former Seahawks (and Blazers) president Bob Whitsitt; the next year, the team advanced to Super Bowl XL, losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
In 2007, he became acting president of the Trail Blazers, replacing Steve Patterson. Vulcan Sports and Entertainment was created at that time. Leiweke served as acting president until June 20 of that year, when the team named Larry Miller to be its president.
Prior to his employment with Paul Allen, Leiweke has served as president of the Minnesota Wild, was the first executive director of The First Tee and has held executive positions with the PGA Tour, the Vancouver Canucks, and the Golden State Warriors.
