“We are delighted to have Jill, a world-class senior financial executive, join our executive team,” said Terry McGuirk Chairman & CEO of Braves Holdings. “Her experience raises our financial planning and reporting capabilities to match the expansion of our business successes. She will bring a wealth of knowledge to our baseball operations and real estate ventures, as well as the intricacies of functioning as a public company.”
