HOUSTON — Just days after parting ways with now-former president Greg Grissom, the Houston Texans have announced the person taking over that role.

Texans CEO Cal McNair said Tomon has more than 20 years of experience in sports and entertainment. He said he also has an expertise in stadium development.
“I’m honored to join the Texans during such a fun and exciting time,” Tomon said. “I want to thank Janice, Cal, Hannah, and the McNair family for giving me this incredible opportunity to join the NFL. I love working with people who are passionate about their work and love what they do, and it was clear in our conversations that the McNairs love this organization and the city of Houston. Their vision for this team and aspirations to be champions in every way allowed us to connect immediately. I also want to thank my wife, Lauren, and my two children for their support, we’re all thrilled about the opportunity to move to Houston. I know that Texans fans are among the most passionate in the NFL, and I can’t wait to get started.”
Tomon comes to the Texans from his position as co-president and COO at Legends, where he’s been since 2014. He led global operations and revenue generation. He’s also been involved in NFL venue projects, including SoFi Stadium in Southern California and Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Tomon will now be responsible for overseeing all of the Texans’ business operations, including marketing, communication, ticket sales, sponsorships, community relations and more. He’ll also be responsible for all aspects of Lone Star Sport and Entertainment.
