The Angels announced today that they have promoted two of their top front-office figures in a realignment of the organization, with President Dennis Kuhl taking over as chairman and John Carpino, senior vice president of sales and marketing, assuming Kuhl's spot as president.
Kuhl will oversee team administration and day-to-day operations as well as what the Angels termed "a renewed effort" in the areas of civic affairs and community outreach. Carpino will focus on business, sales, marketing and communications.
Kuhl has been the Angels' president since November 2003 after spending 30 years in management in the outdoor advertising industry. Carpino had spent nearly six years in his previous role as senior vice president after working alongside Angels owner Arte Moreno since 1985 in the billboard industry.
