Texans promote former VP Greg Grissom to team president

The Houston Texans have announced their promotion of vice president Greg Grissom to the role of team president.

Significant changes within the Houston Texans organization are taking place beyond the gridiron.

The Texans announced on Wednesday the promotion of Greg Grissom to team president. Grisson began working for the Texans in 2002 as the corporate development manager. He most recently served as Houston’s Senior Vice President Of Corporate Development from 2017-2021, prior to his promotion.

“Greg’s extensive industry knowledge is evident by the meaningful relationships he continues to develop with our partners, our community and Texans teammates,” Chairman and CEO Cal McNair said in a statement. “While going through the interview process, Greg’s intentional, forward-thinking approach showed an authenticity and commitment to championship-caliber excellence that made him the ideal choice to take on this role.”

Grissom will be the second president in team history following the departure of Jamey Rootes. Rootes held the role of the Texans team president for 20 years before resigning in early-February.

According to the Texans, Grissom will oversee the direction and management of all business operations — which includes marketing, communications, broadcasting, ticket sales and many other duties.
