The Detroit Lions just landed a big one: Richard Haddad, the veteran COO of Pistons Sports and Entertainment, is stepping in as their new president and CEO. With 14 years under his belt in Detroit sports, he’s helped move the Pistons downtown, build their practice facility, and bring back the WNBA team — all while holding a Columbia law degree and being a proud Michigan native. This marks a major leadership shift after Rod Wood’s decade-long tenure, with Haddad set to officially take over in early September. Sheila Hamp praised his proven track record and deep local knowledge, signaling a fresh, strategic chapter for the franchise.
