Tim
Leiweke has been in his job with Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment
for a little over half a year now. In that time it has quickly
become clear that he is the perfect fit for the company as they try
to further expand their sports and entertainment empire in Toronto.
Leiweke knows how to talk the big talk and inspire the fans.
He also knows how to add value to a company like he did in his
previous role with AEG.
Since
taking over Leiweke has already made major decisions about MLSE's
three biggest properties and who should be in charge of shaping their
futures. He gave a vote of confidence to Leafs GM Dave Nonis,
he brought in one of the top young GMs in the NBA with the hiring of
Masai Ujiri to run that franchise, and he replaced Kevin Payne with
Tim Bezbatchenko at the top of Toronto FC.
Those
were the highest profile moves that he has made in his short time in
Toronto but there were certainly other moves that put MLSE in a
better position moving forward. There has been a fair bit of
turnover at the top of MLSE in recent months as Leiweke looks to
bring in the people he wants to work closely with which has resulted
in some of the less popular figures in the organization being
shuffled out.
On
the whole, things seem to be heading in the right direction for MLSE
under their new boss with the major caveat that none of it has yet
produced results on the ice/court/field as his changes are only just
starting to have an impact on the organizations.
