The NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers named Gillian Zucker, former president of Auto Club Speedway, as the club’s new president of business operations. Zucker, who has led the speedway’s business since 2005, was the first female president of the track, and MSN and FOX once named her one of the five most powerful women in motorsports.
“What an exciting time to be part of the L.A. Clippers,” Zucker said. “There’s something special happening in this organization that has captured the attention of Los Angeles, the NBA and the nation. (Owner) Steve Ballmer’s energy and enthusiasm is contagious and inspiring. We are just getting started.”
Before her tenure as track president, Zucker served as Daytona International Speedway‘s vice president of business operations and development. Zucker joined International Speedway Corporation in 1998 as director of business development for Kansas Speedway.
Prior to joining ISC, Zucker worked in professional baseball, where she was assistant general manager for the Durham Bulls Baseball Club.
She graduated from Hamilton College, where she received her Bachelor of Arts degree in creative writing.
“I am extremely happy to add a leader like Gillian to our team,” Clippers owner Steve Ballmer said. “Her clear and creative business vision, innovative approach to marketing and experience working in the Los Angeles sports market make her the perfect fit to lead the Clippers during this transcendent time.”
