Valerie Camillo leaving her posts with Comcast Spectacor and the Flyers

Valerie Camillo, president and CEO of Spectacor Sports and Entertainment, has decided to leave the organization effective July 1, a source confirmed to The Inquirer on Monday.

Camillo has been with the company for the last five years, heading up business operations for the Flyers and the Wells Fargo Center. She has also served as an alternate governor of the Flyers. Two of Camillo’s primary responsibilities have been leading the $350 million transformation of the Wells Fargo Center and spearheading Comcast Spectacor’s plans to develop the South Philadelphia stadium district.

A source also told The Inquirer that Comcast Spectacor announced promotions as part of the new business leadership structure. Blair Listino will serve as chief administration and financial officer, a position that oversees finance, human resources, business administration, community relations, and Flyers Charities.

She will also assume the role of chair of Flyers Charities and has been named an alternate governor for the Flyers. Listino previously held the title of executive vice president and chief financial officer of the Flyers.

Todd Glickman has been named chief revenue officer. John Master, formerly senior vice president and legal and general counsel, has been promoted to chief legal and strategy officer. Like Listino, he has also been named an alternate governor to the Flyers.

Phil Laws has been promoted to president of the Wells Fargo Center. He was previously the general manager of the Wells Fargo Center and a senior vice president.

President of hockey operations Keith Jones will also serve as an alternate governor for the Flyers.

Additionally, Spectacor Sports and Entertainment will no longer be a separate entity from Comcast Spectacor as part of the effort to make the organization’s structure more unified.

Before joining Comcast Spectacor, Camillo worked as the chief revenue and marketing officer for the Washington Nationals from 2014-18. She served as a consultant to the NBA as part of its team marketing and business operations group from 2010-14.

The Flyers’ front office has seen a number of changes over the last three months. The organization hired Jones and removed the interim tag from general manager Danny Brière on May 11. In March, former Flyers chairman and governor Dave Scott announced his retirement, with Dan Hilferty taking his place. Camillo’s departure comes as a surprise in terms of timing.

Last month, the Flyers held a press conference with executive leadership to introduce a “new era of orange” as the team embarks upon a rebuilding project. Jones, Brière, Hilferty, Camillo, and coach John Tortorella spoke about their visions for the team. Now, Tortorella is the most veteran member of that leadership group in his role. The Flyers announced Tortorella’s hiring on June 17, 2022.

Camillo has also been active in the local community, sitting on the boards of the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce and Ed Snider Youth Hockey and Education. She is a member of the Young Presidents Organization and presides on the corporate council of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
