Caroline O’Connor was appointed as President of Business in 2022, becoming the second current woman in Major League Baseball to ascend to the level. Now in her eighth year with the Marlins, she originally joined the organization in October of 2017 as Senior Vice President and Chief of Staff before serving three years as Chief Operating Officer.

Ms. O’Connor oversees all the club’s business operations, including Analytics and Strategy, Sales, Partnerships, Marketing, Human Resources, Finance, Legal, Communications, Community Outreach, Technology, Security, Ballpark Facilities, and Special Projects. She guides the Marlins’ leadership team to execute organizational objectives and goals,
focusing on innovative means to grow lines of business and create a model of sustained success.

Under Ms. O’Connor’s leadership, the Marlins have developed strategic initiatives to increase revenue streams and exposure to Marlins baseball and the loanDepot park experience. Attendance at loanDepot park continues to increase year over year, through a combination of member base growth (season-ticket holders) and innovative singlegame
ticket offers. With continuous efforts focused on the fan experience, the Marlins announced Miami Live! coming in early 2026. Done in partnership with The Cordish Companies, the market leader in sports-anchored, mixed-use developments, Miami Live! will create a vibrant year-round destination and elevated fan experience aimed at
fostering community gathering.

With a focus on establishing loanDepot park as a year-round destination, Ms. O’Connor has ventured to bring major music acts and entertainment to the ballpark. In 2023, World Baseball Classic returned to loanDepot park, becoming the first-ever venue to host all three rounds, including the championship game. As the “Home of Béisbol,” loanDepot
park became the first Major League Baseball venue to host the Caribbean Series (Serie del Caribe) in February 2024, which saw nearly 350,000 fans attend, marking a new tournament record. In 2026, loanDepot park will host the NHL Winter Classic and World Baseball Classic.

Ms. O’Connor has played a significant role in guiding initiatives to continue the organization’s investment in improving the Marlins’ baseball facilities in South Florida and the organization’s new academy in the Dominican Republic. Another key focus area of hers has been investment in technology infrastructure and advancements for both the front office and the fan experience. Additionally, she has placed a focus on providing impact with the youth and future leaders in our community through outreach initiatives, including the Marlins’ Marlins Youth Academy programming headquarters at Babcock Park, which launched in 2023, and the club’s signature Tee Ball initiative, which has more than doubled in size since it was established in 2019.

Ms. O’Connor sits on the Board of Directors of the Florida Council of 100, Florida Sports Foundation, Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau, Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce, Miami-Dade College Foundation, Jackson Health Foundation, Orange Bowl Committee, Parks Foundation of Miami-Dade County, and United Way Miami. She was
recognized in 2021 as an Influential Businesswoman by the South Florida Business Journal. Prior to joining the Marlins, Ms. O’Connor spent five years as Managing Director at Morgan Stanley and six years as Director at UBS Investment Bank. She graduated from Rutgers University and received her Master of Business Administration in Finance from
New York University Stern School of Business.
