Speaker

Jeff Moorad, Vice Chairman and CEO San Diego Padres

One of the most recognizable names in professional sports, Jeff Moorad brings more than 25 years of sports industry experience to San Diego. The founder of Moorad Sports Management, he began specializing in athlete representation in 1983, with his main focus on Major League Baseball.

He then joined forces with Leigh Steinberg in 1985 to form one of the most dynamic twosomes in the history of sports representation, covering both Major League Baseball and the National Football League. The successful duo negotiated more than $3 billion in athlete contracts throughout their 18 years together, including representing Pro Football Hall of Famers Steve Young, Troy Aikman, Warren Moon and Thurman Thomas.

Moorad was the negotiator on a number of landmark contracts for a baseball client base that included Manny Ramirez, Eric Karros, Ivan Rodriguez, Mo Vaughn, Shawn Green and Raul Mondesi. Moorad's reputation as a knowledgeable and respected negotiator has earned him a spot on The Sporting News' 100 Most Powerful People in Sports on eight occasions.
