Derrick M. Hall (born February 17, 1969) is an American sports executive currently serving as the President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Hall joined the Diamondbacks in May 2005 as Senior Vice President, Communications and served in numerous capacities prior to being named president in September 2006 and adding the title of CEO in January 2009. Prior to joining the Diamondbacks, Hall served as Senior Vice President of the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Fortune 500 company KB Home.
During Hall's tenure, the Diamondbacks have won two National League West Division Championships (2007, '11) and one NLCS (2007). Hall also negotiated the largest financial transaction in franchise history - a historic 20-year television rights deal with FOX Sports, hosted the Major League Baseball All-Star Game and World Baseball Classic at Chase Field. The corporate culture of the D-backs, which was created by Hall, led Yahoo! and Forbes to deem the club as "the best workplace in sports" and Rise Global to name Hall to its list of 100 Most Influential CEOs.
Hall was born the youngest of two boys in Los Angeles, California on February 17, 1969 to Arkansas natives, Larry and Annetta Hall. His father worked in the newspaper industry, which caused Derrick to move all over the United States during his childhood. He was raised in a jewish household.
