BALTIMORE—Executive Alliance, which promotes women leaders in Maryland, will host Catie Griggs, the first female President of Business Operations in the Baltimore Orioles’ team history at its acclaimed Women of Excellence event, November 13th.


Women of Excellence brings together over 600 top women leaders and their supporters in a mix and mingle cocktail party with heavy appetizers anchored by an inspiring conversation with our speaker, Catie Griggs. Michelle Siri of the Maryland Legal Services Corporation will interview Griggs.


Catie Griggs, now President of Business Operations for the Baltimore Orioles, has been a ground-breaking force in sports, having most recently served in the same role for Major League Baseball’s Seattle Mariners, and Chief Business Officer for Major League Soccer’s Atlanta United.

Why Board Readiness Matters More Than Ever

August 14, 2026
For years, progress toward greater gender diversity in corporate boardrooms seemed to be accelerating. Today, the landscape is shifting. Recent Bloomberg reporting found that white men have received approximately 60% of new S&P 500 board appointments in 2026 (the highest share in a decade) while women have received about one-quarter of new board seats, down from one-third the previous year. Companies cite economic uncertainty, AI, geopolitical risk, and a desire for experienced leaders as reasons for narrowing their searches. At Executive Alliance, we don't see this as a reason to step back. We see it as a reason to become even more intentional. Board opportunities have always been competitive. The women who earn them are rarely the ones who decide to pursue board service after an opening is announced. They're the leaders who have spent years building the experience, relationships, and visibility that position them for success. Board Service Requires a Different Kind of Leadership
