Caroline O'Connor stands with chairman and principal owner Bruce Sherman before a Philadelphia Phillies game, April 14, 2022, in Miami.
"I've always worked for first-class organizations, and that's certainly what [chairman and principal owner] Bruce [Sherman] wants to see here and really what the mandate is," O’Connor said in a news conference on Monday, via the team’s website."I think using best practices and being the kind of organization that people want to work for and want to support the community, that's exactly what we want here, and a lot of where I came from.
O’Connor is the second woman to serve as president for an MLB team. Seattle’s Catie Griggs is the other. O’Connor was brought into the fold initially by then-CEO Derek Jeter in 2017 to serve as a senior vice president and chief of staff and then became the team’s chief operating officer in 2019.O’Connor studied at Rutgers University in New Jersey and then New York University. She’s worked for IBM, UBS Investment Bank and Morgan Stanley.
Don Mattingly stepped down as manager and the team hired Skip Schumaker as the team’s manager for 2023.Ryan Gaydos is the sports editor for Fox News Digital.
