"The NFLPA has been searching for a permanent leader since July, when then-executive director Lloyd Howell resigned following ESPN reporting that he had charged a pair of strip club visits to the union. ESPN also reported that he worked part-time for the Carlyle Group, a private equity firm that is seeking minority ownership in NFL franchises, and that the union and league had struck a confidentiality agreement to keep an arbitrator's rulings about possible collusion by NFL owners from players."
"White is the former CEO of 3CG Ventures, an executive coaching and strategic firm, and the former board chair of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. He has extensive labor experience, having served as the leader of the SAG-AFTRA union, with 160,000 members who work in the entertainment industry, from 2009 to 2021. White was also a finalist when Howell was elected in 2023."
The NFLPA is conducting a comprehensive search for a permanent executive director following Lloyd Howell's resignation in July due to misconduct involving strip club charges and undisclosed work with a private equity firm seeking NFL ownership stakes. The executive committee has narrowed the search to three finalists: interim executive director David White, former union chief strategy officer JC Tretter, and American Conference commissioner Tim Pernetti. David White, who leads the interim role, previously served as CEO of 3CG Ventures and board chair of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, with extensive labor experience from leading SAG-AFTRA from 2009 to 2021. The union's 32 player representatives will vote on the finalists at the annual NFLPA meeting in San Diego next month.
