Dave Kaval jokingly refers to his early career as a "drunken walk" for its unpredictability and wandering nature. And the A's president does indeed have one of the most surprising resumes of any big league executive working today.
Prior to joining Oakland in 2016, Kaval carpooled with Tiger Woods at Stanford, worked in the executive branch during the George W. Bush administration, and founded an independent baseball league … among other ventures.
Hear about the rest of Kaval's unique journey to MLB, and his plans for the A's future, on this week's episode of the Executive Access podcast:
