Catie Griggs
President of Business Operations, Baltimore Orioles
Catie Griggs was named the President of Business Operations for the Baltimore Orioles in July 2024. The first female President of Business Operations in team history, she oversees all aspects of the business operations for both the Orioles and the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN).
Prior to joining the Orioles, Griggs spent three years with the Seattle Mariners as their President of Business Operations, managing all aspects of the Mariners business operations including investments to improve technology, operations, and fan experience at T-Mobile Park. In addition, she led the charge as T-Mobile Park became the first venue to host both MLB All-Star Week (2023) and the NHL Winter Classic (2024) within a calendar year. Combined, the two events generated over $80+ million in revenue for the city of Seattle and directly engaged more than 300,000 fans.
Before joining the Mariners, Griggs spent the previous four years (2017-2021) helping build Atlanta United into one of the premier Major League Soccer franchises. She was Chief Business Officer, overseeing all aspects of the Atlanta United front office. Prior to Atlanta United, she was with Futures Sport & Entertainment, as well as Turner Broadcasting. During her career, Griggs has been honored by the Sports Business Journal both as a Game Changer (2017), an annual award that honors female leaders, and 40 Under 40 (2022), an annual award recognizing the best young talent in sports business.
A North Carolina native, Griggs received her BA from Dartmouth College (NH) and her MBA from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. Griggs lives in Baltimore with her husband, and two children.
