Amy Trask is an American sports executive, lawyer, and author, recognized for her significant contributions to the National Football League. She completed her B.A. in political science from the University of California, Berkeley in 1982, where she also became a member of Phi Beta Kappa and an Oakland Raiders fan. Following her undergraduate studies, Trask earned a Juris Doctor from the Gould School of Law at the University of Southern California, beginning law school in 1982, the same year the Raiders relocated to Los Angeles. From her time as a student, she developed a deep understanding and appreciation for the intricacies of football.
Trask’s career with the Raiders began with an internship in their legal department in 1983. After being admitted to the State Bar of California in 1985 and starting her legal career at a Los Angeles law firm, she rejoined the Raiders organization in 1987. Her dedication and legal acumen led to her appointment as chief executive of the Oakland Raiders in 1997, a position she held until her resignation on May 11, 2013. During her tenure, she was the first woman ever to hold the title of CEO for an NFL team, and she remains the only woman to have done so. Her leadership was instrumental in the team’s operations, earning her the nickname “Princess of Darkness” from fans and colleagues, a title she has since embraced.
Since departing the Raiders, Trask has continued her career in sports as an analyst for CBS Sports and CBS Sports Network, appearing on programs such as ‘That Other Pregame Show’ and ‘The NFL Today.’ She is also a panelist on ‘We Need to Talk,’ the first all-female sports TV talk show. In 2017, she served as CEO of BIG3, a 3-on-3 professional basketball league, and later as its chairman of the board until October 2022. Trask is the author of ‘You Negotiate Like a Girl: Reflections on a Career in the National Football League,’ detailing her experiences and insights. Her career achievements have been recognized with numerous awards, including the WISE Woman of the Year Award in 2017, the Campanile Excellence in Achievement Award in 2018, and a Top Women in Media Award in 2020. In 2019, the NFL recognized her as one of the 100 Greatest Game Changers.
