L.A. Clippers
L.A. Clippers chief financial officer Eric Chan leads the organization’s financial operations, including establishing and implementing long-range financial strategy, policies and goals and leading financial project management for all Clippers operations. In just his second year in the role, Chan has already made a tremendous impact, from creating better processes, to executing major initiatives and increasing profit.

Other initiatives led by Chan at the Clippers include implementing KPI-tracking dashboards to create departmental transparency and accountability, creating better productivity management and conducting zero-based budgeting processes.

At Loot Crate, Chan received the Los Angeles Business Journal CFO Rising Star Award and the company was named the Fastest Growing Company in the Unites States by Inc Magazine. Chan also previously served as the Senior Vice President of Finance at Mattel Inc., where he oversaw financial and operational matters across brands such as Barbie, Hot Wheels, Fisher Price and American Girl.
