The National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) is pleased to announce today that it has selected Tamika L. Tremaglio to serve as its next Executive Director, succeeding Michele Roberts upon her retirement at the end of the year. Tremaglio will be retiring as the Managing Principal of Deloitte\u2019s Greater Washington practice, where she has served as a trusted advisor and consultant to the NBPA since 2012.<\/p>\n
NBPA President CJ McCollum said: \u201cTamika has been by our side for many years, advising us on the best practices and policies needed for our organization to operate more like a successful business. Given Michele\u2019s strong leadership and guidance that have brought us to where we are today, we were looking for a next-generation leader, who has the skills, vision, and credibility to pick up where Michele will leave off and to elevate our Union to even greater heights. Tamika\u2019s well-rounded experience in collective bargaining, staff management, revenue creation, wealth preservation and culture building, undoubtedly will put our players in the best position to succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ms. Tremaglio, who holds J.D. and MBA degrees, and is also trained as a forensic accountant, currently leads over 14,000 employees across 23 offices in the Greater Washington area. She serves as a leader in Deloitte\u2019s Consumer Products and Sports Industry practice, including more than 15 years of service to several players associations. \u00a0In addition to her pivotal consulting work to strengthen the NBPA\u2019s internal business and compliance practices, Ms. Tremaglio was at the table with the WNBA players in 2019 for the successful negotiation of their current collective bargaining agreement.<\/p>\n
\u201cTamika will be an excellent Executive Director for the NBPA,\u201d said Michele Roberts. \u201cI have spent considerable time working with her over the past several years and I know she cares deeply about the players and wants the best for them, just as I do. I\u2019m looking forward to retirement, but take solace in knowing the NBPA is in extremely capable hands.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI’ve worked with some of the brightest business and legal minds in the world,\u201d said Ms. Tremaglio. \u201cI\u2019ve broken barriers, challenged misperceptions, and much like the professional athletes I\u2019ve supported over the years, I have defied the odds. I’m incredibly grateful and passionate about this opportunity to serve the Players and positively contribute to the role that the NBPA will play in the future of basketball, both on and off the court.\u201d<\/p>\n
The NBPA was advised on its search by the law firm Dechert LLP, led by Christina Sarchio and Amisha Patel, and executive search firm Heidrick & Struggles, led by Billy Dexter, Ben Weber, and Jackie Zavitz.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
