Three new minority owners have joined the Seattle Sounders team, all with “strategic” characteristics. Adam Selipsky, CEO of Amazon Web Services (AWS); Rick Cantu, CEO and Co-Founder of Redapt, Inc.; and Jay Stein, President of Sand Capital and President of Sandor, a nationwide real estate development company, all bring histories as successful businessmen and relevant experiences.
Although exact details were not released, Sounder at Heart confirmed all three got their shares from primary owner Adrian Hanauer, who still owns a majority of the club. Hanauer had previously expanded his own majority share when Joe Roth divested from the club in 2019.
