Miller Sports & Entertainment has named Corina Nelson as general manager of the Salt Lake Bees. Nelson, who currently serves as vice president of baseball operations, will assume the role while continuing her current responsibilities with the organization.
Nelson succeeds Ty Wardle, who will continue serving as executive vice president of Miller Sports & Entertainment and chief revenue officer, with executive oversight of the Bees and leadership of revenue and partnership strategy across all platform businesses.
With the appointment, Nelson becomes the first female general manager under Miller Sports & Entertainment ownership. She becomes just the third individual to hold the position since Larry H. Miller purchased the team in 2005, following Wardle (2024-26) and Marc Amicone, who served as general manager from 2005 to 2024.
"I am incredibly honored and excited for the opportunity to serve as the general manager of the Salt Lake Bees," Nelson said in a release. "This organization has built something truly special, both on the field and throughout the community, and I am grateful for the opportunity to help continue that momentum. I look forward to working alongside our talented staff, players, partners and fans as we continue to raise the standard for what the Salt Lake Bees can be."
Nelson brings more than two decades of leadership experience within the Larry H. Miller organization to the role. She began her career with the company in 2005 as a team member with Mayan Restaurants before spending 17 years with Megaplex, where she advanced through leadership positions as a supervisor, department manager and general manager.
"Corina has been an outstanding leader for our organization and has earned this opportunity through her dedication, vision and commitment to excellence," Wardle said. "She has been instrumental in the growth of the Salt Lake Bees, and I'm excited to see her lead the club into its next chapter."
Since joining Miller Sports & Entertainment, Nelson has elevated the fan experience, strengthened community partnerships and supported the successful transition into the Bees' new era at The Ballpark at America First Square in Downtown Daybreak. The company said her appointment "reflects the organization's continued commitment to innovation, operational excellence and creating memorable experiences for fans throughout Utah."
