Bombers to announce Buchko as new CEO, president
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers will unveil Garth Buchko as the new CEO and
president of the CFL club at a press conference Thursday morning, the Free Press has learned.
Buchko, who has served as general manager of radio station CJOB, will
replace interim CEO Ossama AbouZeid. AbouZeid was hired by the club in
July of last year and was the team’s first CEO since the departure of
Lyle Bauer in December 2009.
The team had been hunting for a permanent top executive since that time.
Buchko is expected to have control over the entire club, including
the football operations, marketing and finance. The new CEO will report
to the club’s board of directors while general manager Joe Mack will
report directly to the CEO.
