After eight incredibly successful years, Scott O’Neil has stepped down as CEP of the New Jersey Devils and Philadelphia 76ers.
O’Neil is leaving Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment (HBSE) effective immediately, though he will assist with the search for his successor. O’Neil was a limited partner in HBSE.
HBSE’s assets include the Sixers and Devils, the Prudential Center (home of the Devils), a venture fund and multiple esports teams.
O’Neil and HBSE partners Josh Harris and David Blitzer have reached an agreement on a buyout of his stake.
“We are immensely grateful to Scott for his partnership over these past eight years of unprecedented growth,” Blitzer said in a statement.
