Dean A. Spanos

Under the leadership of Owner and Chairman of the Board Dean Spanos, the Los Angeles Chargers are making bold moves to set up the franchise for long-term success in an exciting new market. Spanos is providing senior leadership, strategic direction and critical resources as the Chargers begin a new chapter in their storied history.

Spanos has led the team through numerous franchise records and victories. During the 11 seasons from 2004-14, the Chargers won 113 games (playoffs included) -- five of which were AFC West championships (2004, 2006-09) -- and four playoff games. Only three teams in the NFL won more games during that time span.

Spanos had served as President of the Chargers since early in 1994, the same year the team culminated its most memorable season with an appearance in Super Bowl XXIX. Dean and father, Alex Spanos, also secured Super Bowl XXXII (1998) and Super Bowl XXXVII (2003) for their community, each event bringing an estimated windfall of more than $300 million to the local economy.

In 2015, Spanos handed over the reins of day-to-day leadership to sons A.G. and John. Eldest son A.G. Spanos now serves as President-Business Operations while John Spanos is President-Football Operations.

Dean's leadership is also present throughout the National Football League. As a member of the NFL's Management Council Executive Committee (CEC), he played an integral role in negotiating the NFL's current labor agreement. Through 2015, Spanos served as chairman of the NFL's Business Ventures Committee, which has oversight regarding various league commercial activities, including consumer products, sponsorship, events, marketing, and new business initiatives. To this day, Spanos continues to serve on both committees. His previous committee work included membership on the NFL's International and Legislative Committees.

Spanos also serves as President of the A.G. Spanos Companies, and along with his brother, Michael, oversees all construction operations nationwide.
