Baltimore Orioles

President, Business Operations

Hand drawn arrow gesture pointing to the right in orange.
Introduction
The Baltimore Orioles were undergoing a major organizational shift following the acquisition of the team by David Rubenstein and Michael Arougheti in early 2024. A top priority was finding a President of Business Operations to lead a comprehensive overhaul of the organization. This included overseeing a $600 million renovation of Camden Yards.
Challenge
The Orioles needed a President of Business Operations capable of driving a comprehensive organizational overhaul. The ideal leader required expertise in business turnarounds, a deep understanding of baseball and Baltimore, and the ability to champion diversity in a traditionally male-dominated industry—all while overseeing strategic, operational, and cultural transformation.
Solution
Elevate partnered with the Orioles to identify and recruit a visionary business leader capable of driving cultural and operational transformation across the organization. Leveraging its deep industry network and expertise in executive search, Elevate prioritized candidates with proven turnaround experience, an understanding of baseball or the Baltimore market, and a commitment to advancing diversity within leadership.
