Boston, MA (October 17, 2023) – Delaware North, a global leader in hospitality and entertainment, today announced Glen Thornborough has been appointed to the role of President of TD Garden and Chief Operating Officer of the Boston Bruins, effective immediately. Thornborough, who most recently served as Chief Revenue Officer of TD Garden and Boston Bruins, will succeed Amy Latimer, who was recently promoted to Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Delaware North.

In this new role, Thornborough will oversee operational excellence at TD Garden including venue operations, strategy and business performance. Thornborough will continue to champion TD Garden’s portfolio of events, attract high-profile artists, secure national events and enhance the venue’s competitive position. As the Chief Operating Officer for the Boston Bruins, he will be responsible for shaping the organization’s brand strategy, driving revenue growth, fan engagement, community relations and overall success in all non-hockey aspects of the organization.

Thornborough is a 25-year veteran of the sports and entertainment industry. In his most recent role as Chief Revenue Officer, he oversaw all Bruins and TD Garden revenue lines, service, sponsorship, marketing communications and community outreach and was a key stakeholder in the arena transformation. Thornborough is credited with delivering steady and outsized business growth during his ten years on Causeway Street, achieving milestones for the organization and the community such as renegotiating TD Bank’s 20-year naming rights extension of TD Garden and official partnership of Boston Bruins and launching numerous youth hockey initiatives to grow the game across New England.

"Glen’s commitment to business success and ensuring the growth of hockey in New England is unmatched," said Charlie Jacobs, CEO of Delaware North and CEO of the Boston Bruins. "He is a highly respected and experienced industry leader and we are confident that he will continue to build on TD Garden's success as a premier sports and entertainment arena in North America."

“Glen has been at the forefront of positioning our historic team as a progressive leader,” said Cam Neely, President of Boston Bruins. “He has great relationships with our business partners, secured the Bruins’ first-ever jersey patch partner and has been instrumental in launching our Centennial season with great fanfare and success.”

Thornborough’s leadership in the commercialization of TD Garden’s legendary transformation expansion in 2019 has been instrumental in creating a world-class sports and entertainment experience. He is credited with creating a business strategy department at TD Garden to help ensure the venue is well positioned for long-term success. Now in his tenth year, Thornborough has helped accelerate the Bruins brand positioning to being one of the most promising and influential in the NHL.

"I am honored to be appointed President of TD Garden and COO of the Boston Bruins," said Glen Thornborough.
