Senior Vice President, Human Resources
Robert Fountain joined the Texas Rangers’ Legal department in June 2021 following a decade-long tenure at Minor League Baseball and a 10-month stint at the United Soccer League. As Senior Corporate Counsel for the Rangers, Robert was responsible for providing legal advice on a broad range of legal matters affecting both the baseball club and its ballpark, including commercial contracts (e.g., sponsorship, venue use, and vendor agreements), intellectual property topics, Dominican legal matters, immigration issues, and more. In August 2024, Robert transitioned out of Legal and into the role of Senior Vice President of Human Resources where he leads the HR team responsible for people strategy, employee engagement, benefits administration, compensation, risk management, and employee life cycle management, including recruiting and onboarding/offboarding of staff. When he is not at the ballpark, Robert can often be found coaching youth sports in Southlake, Texas with his wife and four children.
