The Green Bay Packers are mourning the loss of former executive Peter Platten.
The longtime member of the Packers Board of Directors died Tuesday at age 80. President and C-EO- Mark Murphy said “I will be forever grateful to Pete. He took a big chance in hiring me, someone without Green Bay ties.”
Murphy says he loved working with Platten and he had a brilliant business mind and nobody knew the history of the Packers better than him. He sent condolences to his wife Bonnie and the Platten family.
Former Packers president/C-E-O Bob Harlan credited Platten’s longtime financial experience as crucial in charting the organization’s course in the late 1990s.
