Joe Maloof

Joe’s business expertise and leadership qualities have helped enhance and diversify the corporation’s growth since his father’s death in 1980.

Joe manages the Maloof Companies’ nearly 3,500 employees with an open door policy, much like his father did nearly 30 years ago. He also believes in treating customers in a first-class manner and with the utmost respect, and is often seen talking and listening to the fans and customers of the various family businesses.

“My father’s business philosophy of taking care of our customers and employees was successful long ago, and all of us in the family have chosen to manage with that same style,” states Joe.

His extensive expertise in management, sales, and marketing has been invaluable during the company’s expansion into banking, hotels, and gaming over the past 20 years. He currently serves on the Board of the Coors Distributor Council. In May of 1999, he was appointed to the NBA Board of Governors by Commissioner David Stern after the Maloof family was unanimously approved by the Board to assume controlling interest of the Kings.

Like all of his family, Joe’s charitable efforts are an important aspect of his personal and professional life. He has assisted countless community service groups through the years, including the Boys Club, the University of New Mexico, the American GI Forum, the Airport Little League, and the League of Latin American Citizens, to name just a few.

He has a passion for competition, stemming from his days as a prep and collegiate athlete. He was MVP of his high school basketball team at Lawrenceville Prep School (Lawrenceville, N.J.), and was a two-time letterwinner as a defensive back at the University of New Mexico, where he graduated in 1979 with a degree in business.

Joe resides in Sacramento less than two miles from ARCO Arena. He enjoys working out and is an avid tennis player.
