The NBA Champion Golden State Warriors announced today that Chris Murphy has been promoted to President of the Santa Cruz Warriors, the organization’s NBA Development League affiliate. Murphy will assume the position vacated by Jim Weyermann, who resigned earlier this month.
Murphy, 32, has overseen Golden State’s group sales efforts for the past five years, most recently serving as senior director of the Warriors’ group sales department after joining the team as an account executive in June 2005. A graduate of Le Moyne College in Syracuse, New York, Murphy has played an integral role in the development and continuation of the Warriors’ sellout streak, which currently stands at 139 consecutive home games since December 2012.
