Toronto Board of Trade announces departure of President & CEO

(Toronto) The Toronto Board of Trade today confirmed that Glen Grunwald has accepted an offer from the New York Knicks basketball team and has tendered his resignation as President and CEO of Canada?s largest chamber of commerce.

?I love this city, I love this job and the Toronto Board of Trade is involved in great work,? says Grunwald, ?but I could not turn down this offer to rejoin my old friend Isiah Thomas and the sport that I love.? (Grunwald, a former basketball executive with the Toronto Raptors and Denver Nuggets, was once drafted by the NBA but did not play due to injury. He also holds a law degree, an MBA and an honours business degree in marketing.)

Becky McKinnon, Chair of the Board of Trade, credits Grunwald?s nearly two years of leadership with helping the organization achieve new highs in profile and public influence.</div>

Isiah is still in charge, I think Grunwald will have a say, but ultimately Isiah still gets to make decisions. I just hope this guy isn't his successor.

Grunwald's a smart dude. He had a pretty secure job at Toronto Board & Trade, but he knows that Isiah's firing is inevitable and he'll have a huge role in one of the league's most prestigious teams. It's funny, though. Out of the former Raptors GM's, Babcock probably would've been a better choice as a VP. He did a great job (despite a couple rough spots) of putting the Raptors in the position to rebuild again.

You just got to hope that if/when Dolan fires Isiah, he's smart enough to clear out his staff, too.
