Tim Connolly, possessor of significant experience in sales and marketing, including a combined 18 years with three NFL teams, is in his third year as the Packers’ vice president of sales and marketing.
Connolly, who joined the team on May 10, 2010, provides strategic leadership for the organization’s overall marketing efforts and spearheads the Packers’ revenue-generating operations that include marketing and sponsorships, retail operations, ticketing, restaurants, concessions, and premium sales and guest services.
“Tim’s leadership has been very beneficial to the Packers,” said Packers President/CEO Mark Murphy. “He brings a wealth of knowledge of the NFL with his vast experience and understanding of the league’s marketing operations, and is highly respected within the league. His understanding of the rich history of the organization and what the Packers’ unique brand represents to our fans and to our partners is a great benefit in helping us enhance our fans’ experiences with the team.”
Among Connolly’s first initiatives with the club has been the development of the Packers Media Group, the new team dedicated to providing Packers.com with innovative and enhanced content. The effort, which will continue to evolve, has resulted in a highly engaged experience for fans and has increased visits and time spent on the team’s website.
Connolly also is intimately involved in the expansion of Lambeau Field, particularly with the development of the new sound system, new HD video boards, new concession- sales system and new seating area, all of which will greatly benefit the top-rated fan experience on gameday.
Connolly joined the Packers from the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he spent seven years (2003-10), serving the final six years as senior vice president for business development, a position that saw him direct the club’s marketing operations, including ticket sales, customer service and special events, in addition to developing and sustaining new branding and business opportunities. He initially joined the club as vice president of development in 2003 and was responsible for the Jaguars’ Super Bowl XXXIX project, an effort to help fund the capital improvements to Jacksonville Municipal Stadium for the 2005 Super Bowl.
Prior to his work in Jacksonville, Connolly’s other NFL experience included two years with the Minnesota Vikings (1998-99, executive vice president and general manager) and seven years with the Kansas City Chiefs (1989-95, executive vice president and chief operating officer). With each team, Connolly’s work greatly enhanced stadium revenues and delivered significant gains in the number of season-ticket holders.
Connolly began his business career with the IBM Corporation and frequently was recognized as a top sales performer and manager. In January 1986 he was named president and CEO of Bell Atlantic’s Cellular Phone Company, and in 1987, Bell Atlantic (now Verizon) became the first major cellular company in the world to achieve profitability.
The George Washington University graduate has been very active in the community through work on several boards, including the Ronald McDonald House (Jacksonville and Washington, D.C.) and the Governor’s Small Business Advisory Board (New Jersey).
Connolly, a San Diego native, has three grown children. He and his wife, Nyunok, live in Green Bay.
