Billy Beane, the Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations for the Oakland Athletics, has molded the team into one of baseball's most consistent winners since taking over as General Manager following the 1997 season. Beane shattered traditional MLB beliefs that high payrolls equated wins by implementing a data driven methodology that led the Oakland A's, with one of the lowest payrolls, to 7 AL Western Division titles and 10 playoff appearances. That strategic methodology has come to be known as the "Moneyball" philosophy, named for the best-selling book and Oscar-nominated film chronicling Beane's journey from General Manager to hero to celebrated management genius. Beane is a four-time Major League Baseball "Executive of the Year" award winner and was named by Forbes as one of the "100 Greatest Living Business Minds."
