NWSL Denver has hired its first employee. Jen Millet was named club president on Thursday and will oversee all business operations for the club. Millet has enjoyed a long career in the sports and entertainment industries, most recently serving as Chief Operating Officer at Bay FC.
“Jen’s understanding of soccer, building world-class brands, ability to engage the community, and passion for creating a culture of excellence made her the ideal fit to run our club,” controlling owner Rob Cohen said in a statement announcing the hire. “Our ownership group is committed to providing Jen the resources she needs to grow and evolve Denver NWSL as the club takes shape.”
Millet has experience in sports beyond soccer. Before joining Bay she was Chief Marketing Officer for the NBA’s Golden State Warriors. She has also worked for Pandora Radio, StubHub, and Live Nation.
