From the Yankees to the (Marlins) top job

Kim Ng is arguably the most successful woman in the history of Major League Baseball. Currently the highest-ranking female executive in the industry, she is the first woman to earn the title of general manager in the American or National Leagues, and the first person of East Asian descent to serve in the same role. Garnering the trust of the likes of George Steinbrenner, Brian Cashman, Joe Torre, and Derek Jeter, this trailblazer is a perfect role model for young girls and women who want to make their way in the professional baseball setting.

After a college softball career at the University of Chicago, Ng joined the Chicago White Sox organization- first as an intern in 1991, and ultimately wast promoted to Assistant Director of Baseball Operations in 1995.
