Mark Attanasio has been principal owner of the Milwaukee Brewers since 2005.
The Carroll University community is excited to welcome
Mark Attanasio, Principal Owner of the Milwaukee Brewers, to The Sullivan School of Business and Technology’s
Champions of Industry series. Business Dean Tim Sullivan will host the fireside chat, asking Attanasio about choosing his career path, how he became interested in purchasing the Brewers, the fascinating details of the business of Major League Baseball (MLB) and more.
The
Apr. 2 event will take place on Carroll’s Campus in the Shattuck Auditorium. Attanasio and Sullivan will be on stage from
12 to 1 p.m. for a casual and detailed conversation, saving the last 10 minutes for questions from students in the audience. The event is free to attend and open to the public with doors opening at 11:30 a.m.
Attanasio has been the principal owner of the Milwaukee Brewers since 2005, helping lead the franchise to the fourth-most wins in the National League during that time, trailing only the Dodgers, Cardinals and Braves. Additionally, the Brewers, Astros and Dodgers are the only MLB teams with 86+ wins in each of the last seven full seasons. With Attanasio at the top, Milwaukee has seen its most consistent run of success in club history.
While Attanasio’s stake in the Brewers gets the most attention, he has built a diverse and successful career that gives him invaluable knowledge and experience to share with students and community members. Attanasio is the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Crescent Capital Group as well as a founding investor and board member of TORL BioTherapeutics and 1200 Pharma – oncology drug development companies incubated at UCLA and CalTech. Additionally, his not-for-profit endeavors include board memberships with
ChampionLA, the LA2028 Olympic Committee and Harvard-Westlake School.
“This is a fantastic opportunity to learn from a renowned and successful individual willing to share his remarkable journey and expertise with the Carroll community,”
said Sullivan. “As with other
Champions of Industry guests, people will be inspired by the conversation and gain more insight here than they could in any other environment.”
The
Champions of Industry series has featured insightful exchanges and audience participation, allowing attendees to gain unique perspectives directly from industry experts. Each session has covered a range of subjects, such as franchising, restaurant business, sports and entertainment success, retail and wellness, innovation, leadership and more. Sullivan will also bring his wealth of industry knowledge and experience to his conversations with the esteemed guests.
