EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT, CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE & RELATIONSHIP OFFICER

In his 16th season with the franchise, Leo Ehrline is a key liaison between Brooklyn Nets and the team's ownership group, Onexim Sports and Entertainment. Ehrline is also the day-to-day link between the team and Forest City Ratner Companies, which is responsible for the development of Barclays Center, the Nets' new home in Brooklyn starting with the 2012-13 NBA season. In addition to being involved with the team's plans for its new arena, Ehrline remains active in all aspects of Nets sales and marketing, as well as community and customer relations. Furthermore, Ehrline plays a major role in the organization's seamless relationship between business and basketball.

Prior to joining the Nets in 1996, Ehrline spent 19 years at the Meadowlands Sports Complex. He had a steady ascent up the corporate ladder, working his way from the accounting office and then the box office to eventually managing all marketing and sales efforts at the Meadowlands Arena -- which has been named the IZOD Center -- Giants Stadium and the Meadowlands Racetrack.

A native of Medford, N.J., Ehrline graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 1977. Residing in Rutherford, New Jersey, Ehrline and his wife, Kathy, have two sons, Leo, 23, project coordinator for the 2014 Super Bowl organizing committee, and John, 19, a sophomore at St. Joseph's University in Philladelphia.
