Robyn Glaser, the executive vice president of football business for the New England Patriots, plans to resign after an illustrious 18-year tenure. Glaser will continue her duties until mid-February before stepping down, leaving a notable void in the organization. Her departure comes at a challenging time for the Patriots, who are navigating a third head coaching change in as many years and coming off consecutive 4-13 seasons.
Glaser joined the Patriots in 2007 as a senior adviser to ownership and club counsel. Her role expanded significantly over the years, reflecting her deepening impact on the franchise. By 2011, she had ascended to the role of vice president, and by 2018, she was promoted to senior vice president. In 2022, she took on the role of senior vice president, business affairs and chief administrative officer of football.
Her responsibilities extended even further in 2024 when she became a senior adviser to former coach Jerod Mayo. Glaser's strategic acumen and leadership have been instrumental in guiding the Patriots through various transitions. Her colleagues and players alike recognized her as a significant force within the organization.
Prior to her career with the Patriots, Glaser served as a global senior vice president at EMI Recorded Music. Her diverse experience in both music and sports has been a testament to her versatile leadership abilities. Players such as Devin McCourty and Deatrich Wise Jr. have publicly acknowledged Glaser's assistance in launching their off-field initiatives, underscoring her influence beyond the gridiron.
"What keeps me inspired is the variety of work that I do. I'm very honored to work for the [Kraft] family and organization, take a lot of pride in that, and take that very seriously." – Robyn Glaser
As one of the franchise's highest-ranking executives, Glaser's departure represents a significant transition for the Patriots. The organization will undoubtedly feel her absence as it continues to rebuild and strategize for future success. Her legacy is marked by her dedication to fostering growth both within the team and in the personal ventures of its players.
