JOHN CARPINO FRONT OFFICE

President

John Carpino was named the eighth president in Angels' history
November 14, 2009. He oversees all areas of business, sales, marketing,
finance and communications. Carpino’s top priority is fan value and
experience in all areas of the game including concessions, merchandise,
promotions and ticketing. As the principal executive in charge of business
operations, he has helped welcome over three million fans through Angel
Stadium turnstiles for 16 straight seasons. He was also an integral part of
front office
the Angel Stadium hosting the 2010 MLB All-Star Game, and was involved in the negotiations for the
extension of the Club’s television agreement with FOX Sports West. ESPN The Magazine rated the
Angels as the #1 MLB franchise in nine of Carpino’s first 11 years with the organization.
The Chicago native continues to create value for fans, focusing not only on the game inside the
lines, but on the entire ballpark experience. He has guided the Angel brand with a focus on affordable
pricing while providing a quality family environment, including continual stadium improvements and
enhancements. Under his leadership, Carpino’s staff has established Angel Stadium as one of the
premiere destinations in California for non-baseball events such as concerts, Supercross, Monster
Truck and corporate events.
As one of the initial executives appointed by Owner Arte Moreno after purchasing the Club, the
2019 season marks Carpino’s 16th with the team, having previously held the post of senior vice
president. Carpino has led the Angels to unprecedented financial growth in sponsorship, marketing
and ticketing. He oversaw the general manager selection processes in 2011 & 2015 and has assisted
in the acquisition of high-profile players such as Albert Pujols, Andrelton Simmons and Shohei Ohtani.
He has created a stronger, more viable partnership with Los Angeles-based radio and television
partners, and oversees KLAA AM830, the radio flagship of the Angels. His vision and creativity have
brought an emphasis on the Angels’ heritage with a reintroduction of the Club's Hall of Fame with
yearly inductees, hosting of fan events and celebration of team history. Popular giveaways have
included several world record-breaking items and those showcasing the popularity of the Rally
Monkey. His efforts continue to create a brand that connects socially and in sync with current cultural
trends.
Carpino’s promotion followed six seasons as the Angels Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing
during which he oversaw all aspects of marketing, promotions and ticket sales. He began his professional
career in 1982 in the billboard industry, including stints in Tucson, Chicago, Phoenix and Los Angeles.
In 1985, he joined Moreno at Outdoor Systems, a billboard company (which later became Viacom
Outdoor in 2000 and CBS Outdoor in 2005) and spent 18 years in the Phoenix and Los Angeles markets.
