Kim Ng

The Executive Blueprint

Kim Ng has written one of the most important résumés in sports:

• MLB Commissioner’s Office – Senior VP of Baseball Ops.

• New York Yankees – Assistant GM (1998–2001) → 3x World Series rings.

• Los Angeles Dodgers – VP & Assistant GM (2002–2011).

• Miami Marlins – First female GM in MLB history (2020–2023).

• Now – Commissioner, AUSL (American United Soccer League).

Her career is no longer about breaking into front offices — it’s about running leagues.

At Tuned In by Front Office Sports (powered by Elevate), Ng joins an elite lineup to discuss where the $70B U.S. sports media market goes next.

The Numbers That Matter

• $70B+ → U.S. sports media rights market by 2025 (PwC Sports Outlook)

• +35% → Growth in U.S. soccer participation since 2014 (SFIA)

• 88% → MLB front office executives who are male (MLB Diversity Report 2024)

• <10% → Women in global sports executive leadership (Deloitte 2024)

• $6B+ → Projected size of U.S. soccer economy by 2030 (Statista/FIFA)

Why This Is Bigger Than Baseball

• Barrier Breaker → League Builder: Ng went from assembling rosters to architecting leagues.

• Cross-Sport Strategy: Baseball → Soccer → Media. Proof that executive skill is transferable across properties.

• AUSL Case Study: Positioned between MLS and USL, AUSL is angling for media dollars, sponsors, and youth engagement. Ng’s MLB reputation accelerates credibility.

• Representation as ROI: Ng’s value isn’t symbolic — it’s commercial. She expands the audience and trust profile sponsors crave.
