Anne Keegan Osborne

ALWAYS “GOING FOR IT” HAS MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE….
Growing up in Montana, Anne discovered the wonderful world of professional sports for the first time at the age of 8. She visited her uncle in Minnesota and walked through the tunnel to the stands to enjoy a Twins game.  A lifelong baseball fan who grew up playing softball, that “wow” moment at the Twins set her on a path of possibilities. Dreaming that even being a kid in Montana, one day, she could get to a city and work for a professional team she began thinking beyond and dreaming big.

Anne went to school at Gonzaga where she studied business administration and marketing and worked for MSNBC.com and Sporting News in Seattle and New York before making the leap to sports in 2012 when a job at the Guardians (then Indians) opened. She began in communications with the team when social media was still evolving and worked every game, building content for the sites.  In 2016, she moved into a service role with the coolest title ever (Director of Service Excellence) where she partnered with many other service leaders at the Guardians to continue to develop the service capabilities for the team.

In 2024, she was ready for the next challenge and embarked on a newly formed role of Director of Internal Communication where she is creating processes across the franchise to equip everyone with the information they need to do their best work and make connections with each other, the organization, and Cleveland.

BEYOND THE EVENTS:
Her parents’ advice to pursue her path and go for what she wanted was a catalyst for her to apply to out-of-state schools and ultimately move around the country to pursue her passion.

Anne has “never not gone for it” and she credits that drive and willingness to try with where she is today and the unforgettable experience she has created (and been able to share with others) along the way. She thinks the 8-year-old version of herself would say she “totally nailed it” with life.

A total boy mom, Anne’s proudest moments revolve around the character her boys have shown as they grow up. She and her husband are actively coaching and serving on the board for local organizations & cultivating a love for sports in their sons, blending her job, family, and her passion into an ideal life!
