Jason Wied
Vice President of Administration/Corporate Counsel
Jason Wied, the Packers' corporate counsel since 2001, in 2007 begins his first year as the organization's vice president of administration/corporate counsel.
Named to the position April 3, 2007, Wied's expanded responsibilities include representing the Packers at NFL meetings, as well as the day-to-day management of the team's administrative operations, including retail operations, Atrium operations, community outreach, information technology, public relations, facility operations and security. He'll continue to oversee the team's corporate legal matters and work closely with the Board of Directors and Executive Committee.
"Jason's contributions to the organization have grown each year and he will continue to play a significant role in our club's leadership structure," said Packers Chairman Bob Harlan. "His previous work on the organization's legal matters and administrative responsibilities has been outstanding. Also, he's a Green Bay native and therefore has a great feel for the unique nature of the franchise. We look forward to his continued important counsel on key issues for the Packers."
Wied (pronounced WEED) joined the Packers Sept. 18, 2000, as staff counsel after practicing civil litigation and business law for two years (1998-2000) at the law firm of Liebmann, Conway, Olejniczak & Jerry, S.C., in Green Bay. He was promoted to corporate counsel a year later.
A Green Bay native, Wied, 35, graduated from Green Bay Premontre High School (1990), where he played football and hockey. He then graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (1995, B.A. psychology) and from Marquette University Law School (1998). His early work with the team included coordination of the construction and lease negotiations involving the redevelopment of Lambeau Field as well as the team's successful application for the NFL's G-3 stadium funding. In addition to managing the team's corporate legal matters, he also guided strategic media and sponsorship agreements associated with the redeveloped stadium.
Wied continues to be involved in Wisconsin's legal community as he serves on the State of Wisconsin's Agent Advisory Committee.
Active in the community, Wied is a member of the board of directors of the Heritage Hill Foundation and a member of the executive committee of the Green Bay Chamber of Commerce. He is a member of the Green Bay Gamblers (USHL) advisory board and is a past member of the board of directors of the Green Bay Marathon.
Wied and his wife, Melissa, live in Green Bay with their three children: two sons, Jack, 10, and Henry, 6, and a daughter, Rae, 4. Away from work, he coaches youth hockey and baseball, and also enjoys reading, playing golf, hockey and racquetball, as well as spending time with his family.
