The Los Angeles Lakers have made another key front-office addition, signaling the team is far from finished transforming the franchise under new ownership. In a move to mirror the Los Angeles Dodgers' front office overhaul under Mark Walter, the Lakers have hired Elaine Shen as the franchise's new chief financial officer. Shen brings an artful and considerate approach to every table, combined with the ability to build consensus and make tough decisions. She has held several roles with the team since joining in 2016, most recently serving as the associate chief financial officer. Along with Shen becoming the team's new CFO, the Lakers have undergone several front-office changes recently, with Walter now in the fold as the team's new owner. The team has also hired Rohan Ramadas as an assistant general manager under longtime general manager Rob Pelinka. Other hirings the Lakers brass have made under Walter include former University of Virginia head coach Tony Bennett as the team's NBA Draft advisor, Michael Spetner as chief strategy and growth officer, Ryan Kantor as vice president of global partnerships, and Yao Williams II as vice president and head of global partnerships. The storied franchise has been aggressive in its efforts to revamp the front office, and it likely won't stop with Shen's hiring on Tuesday. Walter and company are determined to right the ship in Los Angeles and build around superstar guard Luka Doncic moving forward, with this summer being important to what the future holds for the 17-time NBA champions.
