Griggs, the President of Business Operations for the Mariners, is the featured guest of the Albers Executive Speaker Series, where she will deliver a talk on “The New Return on Experience (ROE): Redefining the Fan Experience.” The event is 5:30-6:30 p.m., Wednesday, April 27 at Pigott Auditorium (will also be available via livestream on YouTube.) Under her leadership, the Mariners have brought a laser focus to creating the best fan experience in Major League Baseball. Griggs, who is the highest-ranking female business executive in baseball, spearheaded the creation of the Mariners first-ever Vice President of Fan Experience to give centralized, executive-level oversight to all elements of the fan experience, from ticket purchase to the trip home after the game. Another fan-friendly initiative is to keep prices at the ballpark reasonable with an offering that includes a ticket, hot dog and beer for under $20. All of these measures are part of her commitment to making the Mariners the greatest REO—return on investment—in pro sports. Learn more about Griggs and the Albers Executive Speaker Series.
