Brewers extend contracts for Schlesinger and Quinn

By Jim Butman

Milwaukee Brewers chairman and principal owner Mark Attanasio announced that the contracts of executive vice president of business operations Rick Schlesinger and executive vice president of finance and administration Bob Quinn have been extended for five additional years.

"I believe our executive management team is among the best in baseball, and Rick and Bob have led us to significant achievements on the business side," Attanasio said. "We have set franchise records for attendance and reached new heights in virtually every measurable category. Both Rick and Bob have also been instrumental in annual improvements to Miller Park, which have earned the organization the highest marks in fan and media surveys. As we continue to grow the business, we are very fortunate to be in a position to retain two of the most capable executives in baseball."

Since joining the organization, Quinn and Schlesinger have played the lead roles in creating the annual and long-range business and financial plan for the Brewers.

Schlesinger is in his sixth season with the Brewers, having been named to his current position on Dec. 12, 2002. In this role, he oversees the club's business affairs, including sponsorships, marketing, ticket sales, guest services, public relations, community relations, broadcasting and communications.

"Being a native of the Milwaukee area, I can think of no better place to be than with this organization," Schlesinger said. "Our entire staff works hard to provide the best fan experience possible, and we will continue to enhance the offerings at Miller Park. It is a privilege to be part of the Brewers organization."

Quinn joined the Brewers on Jan. 3, 2003, as the Brewers senior vice president and chief financial officer and was promoted to executive vice president of finance and administration on July 19, 2007. A fourth generation baseball executive, Quinn oversees the financial operations of the Brewers as well as human resources, information systems, Miller Park operations, Arizona spring training operations and business administration.

"It is an honor to work on the same grounds where my grandfather built a world championship team as the general manager of the Milwaukee Braves in the 1950s," Quinn said. "I am fortunate to be part of an organization where my dad began his Major League Baseball front office career in the early 1970s. A key to success is to team up with good, quality people and I am proud to be surrounded by a first class front office team here at the Brewers."
