Brandon Schneider, 41, will be the new president and Chief Operating Officer of the Golden State Warriors, replacing Rick Welts.

Per ESPN, “It is a dream job for me,” Schneider, a Bay Area native and lifelong Warriors fan, said during a videoconference with reporters. “I said this to [Warriors owners] Joe [Lacob and Peter [Guber] the other day — you’re in the grind day to day. I started off selling tickets. My job evolved over the years, but this is something I’ve aspired to for a long time. And it is a dream job for me, especially growing up a Warriors fan.”

Schneider, who said he attended his first Warriors game at age seven, has been working for the organization for 19 years, initially serving as a season-ticket account executive while working his way up the organization’s ladder — and most recently serving as chief revenue officer over the past three seasons. He credited Lacob and Guber, who bought the team in 2010, for creating the culture change that led to the Warriors’ run of success over the better part of the past decade.
