Jean Afterman is a boss. Both literally and figuratively.
A pivotal figure in the Yankees’ front office since 2001, Afterman is identified as one of the most powerful women in baseball, but also one of the most influential figures in the entire sport.
Jean didn’t always dream of making a life in baseball, or even sports, for that matter. After leaving her position at Paramount Pictures to attend law school, she hoped they would offer her another job following graduation. Thank goodness they didn’t. Instead, she went to work for a small civil litigation where she met Don Nomura.
