Previously CFO at Hemisphere Media Group, a Spanish-language media company based in Florida, Craig Fischer is the first executive hire by new Commanders owner Josh Harris and a significant one.
The Washington Commanders named Craig Fischer their chief financial officer, according to three people with knowledge of the move.
Two people with knowledge of the hire said the team had been interviewing candidates for months, but a move couldn’t be made until the ownership transition was finalized. Fischer started with the Commanders on July 24, according to one of the people knowledgeable about the hire, four days after NFL owners unanimously approved the $6.05 billion sale of the Commanders to Harris and his group of approximately 20 limited partners.
“My approach is pretty simple,” Harris add. “Obviously, I’ve been involved with a lot of sports franchises and companies, but you win with the best talent, and obviously that starts off the court, off the field. So who is the CEO? Who’s the coach? Who’s the GM? And then in order to attract the best talent, you need the right culture.”, who was hired in 2020 to improve the culture and business operations of the franchise, was retained with the chance to prove himself to the new ownership group.
