EXECUTIVES

DANA WELLS EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT

Dana Wells joined the Angels in late 2019 as Executive Vice President,
a role which focuses on all aspects of the Club’s business efforts,
including business development, sponsorship, ticket sales and special
projects.
Wells joined the Angels with a successful track record of over 27 years
of sales experience in the outdoor advertising industry. Starting in 1992
as an Account Executive with Outdoor System, he quickly grew through
the ranks making stops as Sales Manager and General Manager of the
Kentucky, Florida and New York markets. Following a tenure in New York, he was promoted to FRONT OFFICE
National Sales Director in which he managed not only the company’s national sales efforts but
also the day-to-day business operations of the New York market.
As the company’s ownerships changed hands over the years, Wells continued to climb the
corporate ranks. In 2003, under the Infinity and Viacom ownership groups, Wells moved back
to Atlanta where he was named Vice President of the Southeast region. Four years later, the
Phoenix native was promoted to President of the Outdoor Division for CBS Outdoor, a position
he held until 2013.
CBS Outdoor would go on to take their billboard division public in 2014, where Wells would
play a key role in the company’s transition. The newly formed Outfront Media would name Wells
their Executive Vice President of National Sales and Western Region, a title he held until joining
the Angels prior to the 2020 season.
A former NFL player for the Cincinnati Bengals and the Arizona Cardinals, Wells was Pac-10
Defensive Player of the Year his senior year at University of Arizona and is a two-time Morris
Trophy Defensive Lineman of the Year, an award selected by the opposing players annually for
the best offensive and defensive linemen in the conference. Wells won this prestigious award
twice, making him one of three to ever win the award multiple times.
Wells is also currently on the Board of Directors for The Pacific Club IMPACT Foundation.
Dana and his wife, Susie, reside in Newport Beach with their daughter Kaia.
