Policy, 53, joined the Packers as vice president and general counsel in August 2012 and was promoted to chief operating officer in January 2018.
“Congratulations to Ed on this well-deserved promotion to what I believe is the most unique and significant position in the world of professional sports,” Murphy said in a statement. “Ed has been a great asset to the organization during his 12 years here and he has been instrumental in our success.”
Murphy said he and Policy “will continue to work closely to ensure a smooth transition for our employees, players and fans.”
Policy was commissioner, president and chief executive of the Arena Football League from 2008 to 2009. He was with the AFL from 2001 to 2009 in a variety of roles. He was also an executive consultant to the NFL from 2009 to 2010.
He practiced law in San Francisco (1994-99) and Cleveland (1999-2001) before moving into football administration.
Policy’s duties with the Packers have included directing the team’s legal affairs and leading the team’s communications, marketing and fan engagement, sales and business development, security and hospitality departments.
“This is the absolute best job in sports,” Policy said in a statement released by the team. “We are the stewards of the most iconic and unique organization in all of professional sports. I am excited to continue working with so many talented teammates who have ensured the Packers’ continued success on and off the field. We are the people’s team, and I I love being a part of it.”
He also helped lead the development of Titletown, a 45-acre real estate development west of Lambeau Field.
“We will continue our relentless focus on building a winning culture that transcends the playing field,” Policy said. “The Lombardi Trophy will always be our north star and ensuring a positive impact on our community will continue to be paramount in our decision making. We have the best fans in sports and we will never take their commitment to the Packers for granted.”
The Packers said their search committee reviewed a list of more than 90 candidates before conducting virtual and in-person interviews earlier this month.
