Early career After law school, Policy worked at two law firms. From 1994 to 1999, he worked at
Heller Ehrman in
San Francisco, California, with a focus on sports facility construction. Faced with financial challenges, the AFL attempted a reorganization by cancelling the 2009 season, providing time for a new business model to develop. Policy noted in announcing the suspension that the owners and players were still committed to the league, but that the AFL needed to develop better long-term financial sustainability. Policy resigned in April 2009, noting that his position was no longer relevant in the new league format. Shortly thereafter, the AFL went into bankruptcy.
National Football League Beginning in 2009 Policy worked as a consultant for the National Football League (NFL), but left prior to the
2011 NFL lockout to work for a
startup company. During his time as an executive, Policy has worked in almost every facet of the Packers' day-to-day operations, including legal affairs, security, community engagement and overall governance of the team. Policy worked for numerous years to bring the
NFL draft to
Lambeau Field. Policy and the team were ultimately successful, with the NFL announcing that the
2025 draft would be held in
Green Bay, Wisconsin. One of Policy's signature achievements was the development of the
Titletown District adjacent to Lambeau Field. The Titletown District is a mixed-use development with community amenities owned and operated by the Packers, providing additional non-football-related revenue.
Team president In June 2024, the Packers announced Policy would replace
Mark Murphy as
the team's president and chief executive officer on July 13, 2025. The team's board of directors elected Policy unanimously after a search committee winnowed a list of more than 90 candidates. The announcement began a one-year transition period that concluded with Murphy's retirement; Murphy was required to retire by the team's by-laws, which state that all executive officers must do so when they turn 70 years old. In the lead-up to his assumption of the presidency, Policy noted that his priorities for his tenure were "win football games, number one; keep the Packers in Green Bay, number two; and to strengthen our community, number three." Policy's position as president and CEO was confirmed at the Packers' shareholder meeting in July 2025. After the conclusion of the
2025 season, Policy extended the contracts of the team's head coach,
Matt LaFleur, and their general manager,
Brian Gutekunst. ==Personal life==
