Riverside Pro Soccer announced Tuesday that Dave Siegel has joined the organization as Commercial Revenue Advisor. Siegel previously served as Vice President of Global Partnerships for the Los Angeles Dodgers and CEO of the Los Angeles Sports Council.
Siegel will work with club leadership on commercial strategy, corporate partnerships, and revenue development as Riverside Pro Soccer prepares for its inaugural season and the broader sports and entertainment district planned for the city.
"David's experience at the highest levels of professional sports and his understanding of how commercial strategy, partnerships, and community impact intersect make him an invaluable addition to our advisory team," said Greg Scott, founding owner of Riverside Pro Soccer.
Siegel brings nearly three decades of experience in professional sports. During his tenure with the Dodgers, he helped develop global partnership strategies for one of baseball's most valuable franchises. As CEO of the Los Angeles Sports Council, he led efforts to attract major sporting events and manage corporate sponsorships throughout the region.
"I have spent nearly three decades working across professional sports, partnerships, and large-scale sports initiatives, and projects like this do not come around often," Siegel said. "Riverside Pro Soccer has the opportunity to build something special."
The United Soccer League announced in September its partnership with Riverside Pro Soccer to establish professional men's and women's teams. The City Council unanimously approved in August exclusive negotiations for Scott's $200 million sports complex on the former Ab Brown Sports Complex site.
The club is conducting a community listening campaign for input on team branding and identity.
