PITTSBURGH — A Pittsburgh area native is coming home to be the new vice president of revenue for the Pittsburgh Riverhounds Soccer Club.
Hailing from the North Hills, John Fisher will be responsible for overseeing ticketing and corporate partnerships, focusing on generating new revenue opportunities for the Riverhounds, the Pittsburgh Riveters and Highmark Stadium.
“I’m grateful to have the opportunity to return home to Pittsburgh and join the Riverhounds. This is a club with a proud history, strong leadership and excellent ownership,” Fisher said.
Riverhounds President Jeff Garner stated, “We’re thrilled to welcome John to our leadership team. His track record of driving growth and building strong revenue cultures across multiple major leagues speaks for itself.”
Fisher brings a wealth of experience from his previous roles, including over 16 years with the Arizona Diamondbacks, where he served as senior vice president of ticket sales and marketing.
His career also includes positions with the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers and the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning, as well as a role as vice president for sales at Cirque du Soleil.
