Executive Vice President/Chief Financial Officer
Tim Zue is responsible for the financial management of the Boston Red Sox, overseeing the organization's operating budget, accounting, financial planning, forecasting, business analytics, and technology services. Prior to his current role, he served as Senior Vice President of Finance, Strategy and Analytics for both the Red Sox and Fenway Sports Management (FSM).
Over the past 22 seasons, Zue has played a key role in all financial aspects of the business, including the evaluation and execution of all non-baseball events, the introduction of both variable and dynamic ticket pricing, the financial impact of Fenway Park improvements, and the creation of the Red Sox Rewards loyalty program. He also helped conduct the financial due diligence related to Fenway Sports Group's acquisitions of Roush Fenway Racing, Liverpool Football Club, the marketing rights for LeBron James, and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
With FSM, Zue managed the business operations department responsible for the sports marketing firm's consulting, events, and experiences divisions. Under his leadership, FSM created the onsite photography service Fanfoto, the fan travel program MLB Destinations, Red Sox Fantasy Camps, and Youth Baseball Summer Camps. During Zue's tenure, Fanfoto expanded from three teams to more than 30 before being sold to Sharp Shooter Imaging, and the MLB Destinations program grew to include seven Major League Baseball clubs.
In early 2017, Zue was promoted to Executive Vice President/Chief Financial Officer. In addition, he was selected as one of Sports Business Journal's "40 Under 40" Award recipients, an honor that recognized him as one of the best young talents in the business of sports.
Prior to joining the Red Sox and FSM, Zue worked for Bain & Company in Boston as an associate consultant. He also taught middle school math and technology in the Boston Public School system for four years.
Zue received a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from MIT in 1999, where he won a robotics design contest and competed in an international robotics design competition in Tokyo, where his team finished 2nd. A native of Winchester, MA, Zue has three children, Adelyn, Harrison, and Vivienne, and currently lives in Marblehead, MA with his partner Jaime.
