DANA WELLS executive vice president

Dana Wells joined the Angels in late 2019 as Executive Vice
President, a role which focuses on all aspects of the Club’s business
efforts, including, business development, ticket sales and special
projects .
Wells brings with him a successful track record of over 27 years of
sales experience in the outdoor billboard industry. Starting in 1992 as front office
an Account Executive with Outdoor System, he quickly grew through
the ranks making stops as the Sales Manager and General Manager of
the Kentucky, Florida and New York markets. Following an impressive
tenure in New York, he was promoted to National Sales Director in which he managed not only
the company’s national sales efforts but also the day-to-day business operations of the New
York market .
As the company’s ownerships changed hands over the years, Wells continued to climb the
corporate ladder. In 2003, under the Infinity and Viacom ownership groups, Wells moved back
to Atlanta where he was named Vice President of the South East region. In 2007, the Phoenix
native was promoted to President of the Outdoor Division for CBS Outdoor, a position he held
until 2013.
CBS Outdoor would go on to take their billboard division public in 2014, where Wells would
play a key role in the company’s transition. The newly formed Outfront Media would name Wells
their Executive Vice President of National Sales and Western Region, a title he held until joining
the Angels this winter .
A former NFL player for the Cincinnati Bengals and the Arizona Cardinals, Wells was Pac-10
Defensive Player of the Year his senior year at University of Arizona and is a two-time Morris
Trophy Defensive Lineman of the Year, an award that is selected by the opposing players annually
for the best offensive and defensive linemen in the conference. Wells has won this prestigious
award twice, making him one of three to ever win the award multiple times.
Wells and his fiancée Susie reside in Newport Beach.
