CAMDEN, N.J. – October 17, 2025 – Josh Harris and David Blitzer, co-founders and Managing Partners of Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment (HBSE), announced today the hiring of Bob Myers as President, HBSE Sports.
Myers joins the organization in a full-time role with the goal of maximizing opportunities and bolstering processes across HBSE’s portfolio of sports properties. This includes the New Jersey Devils of the NHL, Philadelphia 76ers of the NBA, Crystal Palace F.C. of the Premier League, and an investment in Joe Gibbs Racing (NASCAR). Myers will also continue to support Harris, the Managing Partner of the Washington Commanders of the NFL.
Considered one of the most respected executives in the industry, Myers will work closely with Harris and Blitzer to enhance HBSE’s ability to deliver championship-caliber teams to the communities they serve.
“Our goal has been to hire, grow, and retain the best and brightest executives in the world and we are a stronger, more dynamic organization with the addition of Bob Myers,” Harris and Blitzer said. “His experience as an architect of championship teams will complement our existing leadership structure, while also allowing HBSE to maximize opportunities across our portfolio. We’re excited to have Bob continue his storied career here at HBSE.”
Myers, who most recently served as an NBA analyst and color commentator for ESPN, spent the first 14 years of his career as a sports agent before transitioning to a front office role with the Warriors in 2011. Over the course of his 12 years with Golden State, Myers rose to the ranks of President and General Manager, building rosters that won NBA titles in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022 while earning NBA Executive of the Year awards in 2015 and 2017.
In 2024, Myers served as an advisor to Harris in the buildout of the organizational infrastructure of the Washington Commanders, including the hirings of General Manager Adam Peters and Head Coach Dan Quinn.
“I have been fortunate to know Josh and David for a long time, and I’ve always greatly admired them and respected how they’ve built such an impressive global sports portfolio,” Myers said. “This role was intriguing because it provides the opportunity to work with some of the industry’s most talented leaders and executives across the world’s biggest sports leagues. By leveraging HBSE’s global presence in sports, we can create competitive advantages for our athletes and teams that enhance our ability to win. This is the type of challenge and opportunity I was looking for, and I’m grateful to Josh and David for the chance to be a part of HBSE.
Myers added: “I also want to thank Bob Iger, Jimmy Pitaro, and my colleagues at ESPN for an incredible experience during my time there and for their support as I pursue the next chapter of my career.”
