As Chief Executive of HBSE, the parent company of the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers, the NHL’s New Jersey Devils and assorted other properties including New Jersey’s Prudential Center and esports outfit Team Dignitas, O’Neil is widely acknowledged as one of sport’s most forward-thinking senior leaders.
He has developed a reputation for building inspiring working cultures: ‘Trust the process” and “being palms up” are just two of the phrases that he utilises at HBSE to do so.
In this video, recorded behind the scenes at The Sport Business Summit during Leaders Week New York in May, O’Neil explains:
