"Johns is currently the chief business officer at Los Angeles FC of Major League Soccer and will officially join Bay on March 2, filling a role vacated when Brady Stewart stepped down as CEO in October ahead of the season finale. Johns credited Bay FC's starry Founding Four and the NWSL's growth trajectory for making this a palatable leap to take now."
"She'll be entering a stadium situation somewhat similar to what she saw at BMO Stadium just outside LA's downtown, except she'll be on the other side, as Bay is a tenant of the Earthquakes at PayPal Park. 'My past experience will hopefully only allow me to be creative with how we can sell things together, how we can possible help each other, how we can market things together,' she said."
Stacy Johns will join Bay FC as chief executive officer on March 2 after serving as chief business officer at Los Angeles FC. The role had been vacant since Brady Stewart stepped down in October. Johns cited Bay FC's Founding Four and the NWSL's growth as reasons for the move and referenced her involvement launching Angel City as influential. Bay plays as a tenant at PayPal Park, a setup Johns compared to BMO Stadium, and she expects to leverage past stadium and sponsorship experience. Johns and coach Emma Coates aim to improve after a second-season slump and low points total.
