Angel City Football Club Appoints Amy Taylor as New CEO

Angel City Football Club has appointed Amy Taylor, a former Red Bull North America executive, as its new chief executive officer. Taylor will officially start the job on July 27.

Taylor is departing her current post as CEO of Zevia PBC, a maker of zero-sugar beverages. She will oversee all of the LA-based club's football, business, and organizational operations.

A former college track athlete, Taylor served as director of game operations for the Atlanta Hawks in the 1990s before moving on to Red Bull. She rose to president and chief marketing officer for North America and represented Red Bull's ownership interests in the MLS's New York Red Bulls.

Taylor is a recipient of the Women in Sports and Events (WISE) Inspirational Woman of the Year Award. She serves on the executive committee and chairs the strategic planning committee for the board of directors of The Trevor Project, a nonprofit dedicated to ending suicide among LGBTQ+ youth.

Angel City is the most valuable NWSL franchise, worth $335 million. The club has been less successful on the field, currently sitting 12th in the 16-team NWSL standings.
