Adam Aron out as Sixers CEO

Adam Aron is out. The news ends one of the most bizarre weeks in Sixers history.

Aron, who has been serving as the Sixers CEO and social media guru for the past two years, will be relieved of his post starting July 16. Aron’s saga has been well-documented.

His replacement is Scott O’Neil, a rising star in the business world, who last worked with the New York Knicks, New York Rangers and New York Liberty as president of Madison Square Garden Company. O’Neil is a graduate of Villanova University.

According to a press release, he was the key architect in several of the largest deals in NBA history, resulting in record-setting revenue in sponsorships, tickets and suites.

“I have enjoyed every single second of my association with the Philadelphia 76ers, and look forward to continuing to root for the Sixers as Co-Owner and Board member,” Aron said. “Even so, as I look at the current investment landscape, my enthusiasm is boundless for what is to come as I commence an exciting new chapter in my career.”
