INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Fever have hired Amber Cox as the team’s chief operating officer and general manager. Current GM Lin Dunn will remain in the organization as a senior advisor.

Cox comes to Indiana from the Dallas Wings, where she was chief operating officer guiding the team’s day-to-day business operations. Before Dallas, she was the vice president of sports for the Connecticut Sun from 2016-2021. She also worked for the Phoenix Mercury, earning two championship rings.

“I have known Amber for over 20 years and have watched her successfully build teams both on and off the court,” said Kelly Krauskopf, Fever President for Business and Basketball Operations. “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.”

“I am excited to be joining the Fever during this historic time in the WNBA,” Cox said. “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 worked for teams in the NWSL and MLS and was an associate commissioner in the Big East Conference.

Dunn rejoined the Fever to help with the 2022 WNBA Draft before officially becoming general manager in 2023. She drafted top picks and rookie of the year winners Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark. She led the franchise to their only WNBA championship as head coach in 2012.

“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,” said Krauskopf. “I have such gratitude and respect for her.”
