Haddad is set to join the Lions in September after 14 years at Pistons Sports & Entertainment, where he served as the NBA organization's chief operating officer.
A Michigan native, Haddad was a key member in bringing the WNBA back to Detroit. The WNBA's latest Detroit franchise will make its debut in 2029.
"As a lifelong Lions fan, I understand firsthand how much this team means to this city and state, and I'm honored and humbled to lead this franchise," Haddad said in a release.
Wood, who announced his retirement in February, served as the franchise's president and CEO for 11 seasons.
