Peter Tomozawa takes role leading Seattle’s World Cup committee

Peter Tomozawa has officially stepped down as the Seattle Sounders President of Business to take the role of CEO with SEA 2026, the local World Cup organizing committee. The move has been in the works for several months, and Sounder at Heart first reported on it two months ago. Although not yet formally announced, Sounder at Heart has confirmed Hugh Weber has already assumed the role of president of business.

Tomozawa has served as the Sounders’ top business executive since 2019 when he also joined the organization as a minority owner. He and his wife Donna LeDuc retained their ownership stakes.
