After graduating from Princeton in 1998, he began his 17-year career at the NCAA as an intern, eventually rising to become its Managing Directory of Championships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From there, Leech moved to the NFL where he quickly rose up the executive ranks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the COO of NFL International from 2019-2022, he oversaw all of the NFL&#8217;s international operations in markets such as Australia, Africa, Brazil, Canada, China and Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, with over 25 years of collegiate and professional sports experience, Damani Leech is the Broncos&#8217; new team president. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It is a tremendous honor to join Broncos Country during such an exciting time for one of the premiere franchises in all of sports,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denverbroncos.com\/news\/broncos-name-damani-leech-as-team-president\">Leech said in a statement.<\/a> &#8220;Greg and the other partners are visionary leaders, and the trust they have shown in me is deeply humbling. I&#8217;m thrilled to support our world-class ownership, leadership team and staff on this journey to drive innovation and growth throughout every area of the Denver Broncos.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leech is the fourth Black team president in NFL history, joining Jason Wright (Washington Football Team), Sashi Brown (Baltimore Ravens) and <a href=\"https:\/\/firstandpen.com\/staging\/5861\/meet-sandra-douglass-morgan-las-vegas-raiders-the-nfls-first-black-woman-team-president\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sandra Douglass Morgan (Las Vegas Raiders)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;As we sought to identify a dynamic, forward-thinking and inspiring leader to guide the Broncos into this exciting new chapter, Damani stood out among several very qualified candidates,&#8221; said team owner and CEO, Greg Penner. &#8220;There was a high degree of interest in this opportunity with the Broncos, which speaks to the reputation of this organization and Damani&#8217;s strong credentials.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"first-1673870758\" class=\"first-content first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream2 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you look at the Broncos, you realize they have one of the, if not the, most diverse leadership groups in the league.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They have three high-profile Black owners in <a href=\"https:\/\/firstandpen.com\/staging\/5861\/walmart-heir-rob-walton-wins-denver-broncos-with-4-6-billion-bid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mellody Hobson<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/firstandpen.com\/staging\/5861\/former-secretary-of-state-condoleezza-rice-joins-broncos-ownership-group\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Condoleezza Rice<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/firstandpen.com\/staging\/5861\/f1-star-lewis-hamilton-joins-denver-broncos-ownership-group\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lewis Hamilton<\/a>, and one of their majority owners, Carrie Walton Penner, is a woman. Now their new team president is Black and the most important position on the field is helmed by one of the best in the game, Russell Wilson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the league were smart, they would use Denver as a case study to showcase how diversity works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday, the Denver Broncos added another talented executive to the team when they hired Damani Leech as their new team president.
