Comcast Spectacor Executive Valerie Camillo Leaving The Company

Exactly a month ago, the Flyers’ New Era of Orange was introduced at a Wells Fargo Center news conference.

There they stood on May 12, the five members of the management team, united in purpose, determined to bring about much-needed change to the franchise.

Change has happened already.

One of those five, president and CEO of Spectacor Sports & Entertainment Valerie Camillo, is leaving Comcast Spectacor, as first reported by Anthony SanFilippo, of Crossing Broad.

Camillo will leave effective July 1. She has been with the company for five years and in her current role since September. At the New Era of Orange news conference, CEO Dan Hilferty called Camillo “the best leader in sports and entertainment.”

Here is the email sent to employees by Hilferty as reported by Crossing Broad:

“As one of our senior leaders, Valerie has helped successfully drive many of our businesses forward. Since joining the company just a few months ago, I have been excited about her work on transforming the Wells Fargo Center into a new, state-of-the-art arena, as well as by the business development opportunities for the Philadelphia Flyers, Philadelphia Wings, and Maine Mariners.

“As Valerie departs, her leadership team will continue to work in collaboration with me. Additionally, with our recent hiring of Keith Jones as president of hockey operations and Danny Briere as general manager of the Philadelphia Flyers, I’m energized by the leadership team we have in place on the hockey side of our company. That, on top of the outstanding work being done by all of you across the organization, I’m excited about our company’s future.

“I’d like to thank Valerie for all she has done for Comcast Spectacor, and I wish her the very best in her future endeavors.”
