Ken Babby
Founder, Fast Forward Sports Group
Owner & Chief Executive Officer, Akron Rubber Ducks Baseball Club
Ken Babby offically became Owner and Chief Executive Officer of the Akron Aeros on October 12, 2012, which was recently renamed The Akron Rubber Ducks. Babby entered into ownership of the formerly named Akron Aeros, fully embracing a two fold mission: creating the most memorable, unique, affordable, and enjoyable fan experience throughout minor league sports and maximizing the opportunity to create change in the community through charity, wellness and education initiatives.
Previously Babby excelled in the media realm, leading various advertising and revenue divisions of the Washington Post and washingtonpost.com. Most recently, Babby was the Chief Revenue Officer of Washington Post Media and General Manager of Washington Post Digital, a position he held since 2010. In this role, he was responsible for leading digital business operations and all business aspects of digital product development including web, mobile, social and other digital platforms, and oversight of Post Media revenues (digital & print). He also was responsible for business strategy and development, and monetization, of all digital products.
Prior to this role, Babby was Vice President of Advertising for Washington Post Media with responsibility for the Post’s print and digital revenues. Babby joined The Washington Post in 1999 as a summer intern in IT. After completing internships at the newspaper and at washingtonpost.com (then Washington Post Newsweek Interactive), he joined the newspaper’s Marketing Department as an analyst. Babby transitioned to sales in 2004 as an Account Manager for technology advertising. Over the next several years, his career followed an extraordinary trajectory when he became the Manager of Entertainment Advertising, and later, as Director of the Major Accounts Unit (with $320 million in annual revenues) to VP of Advertising for Washington Post Media, and finally, his most recent role as Chief Revenue Officer of Washington Post Media and General Manager of Washington Post Digital.
Babby holds a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Economics from Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts, and an MBA from the Carey School of Business at Johns Hopkins University. He currently serves on the Board of Trustees at Wheaton College and previously served the Board of Directors of the OPA (Online Publishers Association). He has a four year old son named Joshua.
