Current Leadership
Governor & CEO
Venture capitalist Joe Lacob, a partner at Kleiner Perkins, led the group that purchased the Warriors in 2010 for $450 million - at the time considered an overpay for a middling franchise. That investment now looks like one of the greatest in sports history, as the Warriors have won four championships (2015, 2017, 2018, 2022) and the franchise is valued at over $7 billion. Lacob also spearheaded the privately funded construction of Chase Center in San Francisco.
Co-Executive Chairman
Hollywood mogul and Mandalay Entertainment CEO Peter Guber co-purchased the Warriors alongside Joe Lacob and has brought an entertainment industry sensibility to the franchise's game presentation and branding. Guber, who also co-owns the Los Angeles Dodgers, has been instrumental in making the Warriors' game-day experience one of the most premium in all of professional sports.

Historical Figures
Owner
Cable television executive Chris Cohan's 15-year ownership of the Warriors is widely regarded as one of the worst tenures in NBA history. The franchise made the playoffs just once (the 'We Believe' run in 2007) during his tenure and was plagued by poor drafting, coaching turnover, and fan apathy. He sold the team to the Lacob-Guber group in 2010.
Owner
Eccentric broadcasting entrepreneur Franklin Mieuli was the longtime owner of the Warriors who oversaw the franchise's move from Philadelphia to San Francisco and later to Oakland. His tenure included Rick Barry's championship run in 1975 and an era of colorful but often dysfunctional basketball.
