The Seattle Sounders’ new president of business operations brings a wealth of experience leading both NBA and NHL teams as well as strong local ties. About two months after being introduced to employees internally, Hugh Weber’s appointment was publicly announced by the club on Thursday. Two days earlier, Peter Tomozawa officially stepped down in order to take a role leading Seattle’s 2026 World Cup organizing committee.
“I am grateful and honored to return to my roots and contribute back to the community that has been core to the person I have become,” Weber said in a team release.
