Greg Beadles

Having started with the Atlanta Falcons as an intern after earning a bachelor's degree from Louisiana State University and master's degree from Georgia State University, Beadles begins his 29th year (2023) with the club being named president of the team. In his almost three decades with the organization, Beadles has held numerous roles with the Falcons and AMBSE, including being part of the finance team that orchestrated the transfer of ownership of the Falcons from the Rankin Smith family to Arthur M. Blank in 2001. Known league wide as an expert in team and facility operations and finance, Beadles has built unique trust among his peers, colleagues and Blank himself on the strength of his financial acumen, business savvy, versatility and personal values.

A two-time CFO of the Year (Atlanta Business Chronicle), Beadles has provided leadership across AMBSE in business strategy, finance, technology, facility development and operations, and data and analytics. Working closely with Rich McKay, Beadles played a lead role in every aspect of developing, financing, design and construction of Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Since MBS opened in 2017, Beadles has led several functions that have allowed MBS to meet Blank's vision as a best-in-class fan experience venue for sports, entertainment and private events. He also played a central role in the organization's acquisition of an MLS expansion team that would become Atlanta United, and concepting and developing AMBSE into one of the leading multi-property sports and entertainment companies. Outside of his professional roles, Beadles is a board member of the College Football Hall of Fame; is co-founding board chair of both the Oak Hill Classical School in Dacula, Ga., and the Arete Scholars Fund, a non-profit that has awarded academic scholarships to 15,000 low-income children since 2010.

As Atlanta Falcons president, Beadles reports to AMBSE and Atlanta Falcons CEO Rich McKay and assumes day-to-day oversight of finance, operations, marketing, digital, communications, human resources and community relations, as well as shared functions related to game presentation, retail, sales, and service. Beadles' father spent over 50 years as a basketball coach and athletic director, mostly in Georgia, so his career, passion for the state, and ties to the Falcons are deeply rooted.
