John Fisher became the managing partner of the Oakland Athletics in November 2016, when Lewis Wolff stepped down from the position. Fisher and Wolff had formed a limited partnership group to purchase the A's on April 1, 2005, with Wolff assuming the position as managing partner. They had worked together in various ventures since 1994.

Concurrent with Fisher's accession to the principal ownership position, Dave Kaval took over as team president, replacing Michael Crowley. Kaval had exercised a similar position with the San Jose Earthquakes of Major League Soccer, another business jointly owned by Wolff and Fisher.
