In surprising news this morning, Valerie Camillo, President and CEO of Spectacor Sports & Entertainment, is set to depart from the Philadelphia Flyers organization/Comcast on July 1.
The timing of her departure raises eyebrows, as the organization recently made significant moves, including the appointments of Danny Briere and Keith Jones, the introduction of the "New Era of Orange" brand, and a proactive approach to media engagement. Including interesting news, just the other day she publicly spoke to the media for the first time in her 5-year stint with the Flyers, and suddenly announced her departure after that.
Camillo's role was newly established when she joined in 2018. Initially overseeing the business side, her responsibilities shifted in 2019 when Paul Holmgren transitioned to a Senior Advisor role under Dave Scott.
