About Kerry R. Watson
I believe great organizations are built from the inside out.Throughout my career — across government, corporate, and professional sports — I’ve focused on one mission: building cultures that inspire trust, accountability, and shared purpose.As Executive Vice President of Public Affairs for the Baltimore Orioles, I lead the Club’s engagement with civic partners, community organizations, and public institutions while helping strengthen the culture that drives our organization forward. My approach combines strategic clarity with authentic connection — uniting people across departments, generations, and perspectives to achieve something larger than any single function.I’m most proud of the teams I’ve built and the trust we’ve earned — inside our organization, across our fan base, and throughout the communities we serve.Leadership Focus Areas: • Organizational Culture & Internal Alignment • Public Affairs & Government Relations • Community Impact & Social Responsibility • Executive Communications & Stakeholder Trust • Strategic Partnerships & Civic DevelopmentMy guiding belief: Sustainable success in sports isn’t just measured in wins or revenues — it’s measured in how well you care for the people who make both possible.
