Moves in the Directive: Walker Monfort Ascends in the Rockies

Denver – Amidst a challenging season, the Colorado Rockies have announced a significant change in their management structure. Walker Monfort, son of team owner Dick Monfort, has been named executive vice president. This appointment comes at a crucial moment for the team, which is facing one of the most complicated season starts in its history. Walker Monfort will assume his new responsibilities immediately, working alongside current President and Chief Operating Officer Greg Feasel, who will retire at the end of this year after three decades with the organization. The news arrives as the Rockies are in a critical moment of the season, with an 18-62 record before Thursday’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Walker Monfort, 38 years old, has been working as vice president of corporate partnerships since 2015. He will officially assume Feasel’s responsibilities in January.

Greg has been a pillar of this organization since its inception. His leadership and vision helped shape not only the Colorado Rockies organization, but the entire baseball community in the Rocky Mountain region. He has been instrumental in our many successes over the years and has been a strong and constant presence for the last three decades.

Feasel joined the Rockies in 1995 as Vice President of Sales and Marketing. He was promoted to Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer in 2010 and President of the club in April 2021. Walker Monfort began his career with the Rockies in an entry-level position, gaining practical experience in multiple departments, including the grounds crew, game day promotions, ticket sales, and the visiting clubhouse from 2006 to 2009. He officially joined the front office full-time at the end of 2009, working in minor league operations and player development until 2013.

While we thank Greg for his impact and service, we are excited to turn the page to our next chapter with Walker. He brings a deep understanding of this organization, gained through his 20 years of experience working both within and alongside every department of our operation. He offers a fresh, forward-thinking mindset, and we are confident that his perspective, experience, and leadership will benefit the club in the months and years to come.
