Sinneraja brings a strong track record from other pro sports teams. He spent three years as senior vice president of business administration with the Buffalo Bill starting in 2020, then three years as chief, operating officer for the Kansas City Royals beginning in 2023. Earlier, he handled strategy and analytics for the Cleveland Indians over three years from 2012, plus five years at Google.
