 WASHINGTON (AP) - Marketing whiz Susan O'Malley, the first and only female president of an NBA franchise, is leaving the Washington Wizards.
O'Malley has been president of the Wizards since 1991, earning a league-wide reputation for creative promotions that helped draw new fans to a team that had been struggling at the gate.
"Susan has been my right hand through the past 20 years and has helped guide the fortunes of our company," Wizards owner Abe Pollin said. "She has simply been fantastic in every way, from the moment she came here to the present, and I will always be thankful for her guidance and leadership."
