INDIANAPOLIS – Amber Cox is the Indiana Fever’s chief operating officer and general manager, the team announced Friday. She will officially join the organization on October 28, the team said in a news release. Lin Dunn, the Fever’s current general manager, will become senior advisor to Fever basketball, a new position for the organization.

“I have known Amber for over 20 years and have watched her successfully build teams both on and off the court,” Kelly Krauskopf, the Fever’s president for business and basketball operations, said in the release. “She brings a wide range of executive experience to our leadership team. I look forward to working with her as we build the Fever franchise into the next era of growth.”

Cox was the COO for the Dallas Wings, overseeing ticket sales, partnerships, marketing, communications, broadcasting and community efforts. This season the team had seven sellouts and played at 97% capacity at College Park Center, according to the news release.

Cox was vice president of sports for the Connecticut Sun from 2016-2021, leading all revenue-generating operations for the organization. She began her career with the Phoenix Mercury, rising to be the team’s president and chief operating officer; the Mercury won WNBA titles in 2007 and 2009.

“I am excited to be joining the Fever during this historic time in the WNBA, and I am grateful to Kelly, Fever ownership, and Mel Raines for this opportunity,” said Cox in the release. “From the top down, there is a commitment to invest in the Fever to ensure the team’s continued growth and success, and I look forward to contributing to a world-class experience for our fans, as well as our players, both on and off the court.”

Cox also led business operations for the Kansas City Current of the NWSL, served as chief marketing officer for the MLS’ Houston Dynamo and NWSL’s Houston Dash and was associate commissioner for Women’s Basketball in the Big East from 2014-2015.

Dunn returned to the Fever prior to the 2022 WNBA Draft and was officially named general manager in early 2023. She draft Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark with the last two No. 1 draft picks and returned the Fever to the playoffs for the first time in eight years. Dunn, a hall of famer, previously led the 2012 Fever to the WNBA Championship and made them a perennial playoff team.

“I can’t thank Lin enough for the years she gave this franchise, coming out of coaching retirement and returning to oversee the basketball operation at such a pivotal time of transition,” Krauskopf said in the release. “I have such gratitude and respect for her.”
