Andrea Ambriz serves as the General Manager of Exposition Park, one of the largest public,
open spaces in the heart of Los Angeles welcoming millions of visitors annually. With a
commitment to building healthy, vibrant and safe communities, General Manager Ambriz was
appointed by California Governor Gavin Newsom to steward Exposition Park and bring her
experience working successfully in community and policy development and engagement.

Exposition Park, a 160-acre renown state property, is home to celebrated museums, leading-edge sporting venues, recreational and educational facilities, and community assets that
engage, entertain and accommodate visitors from near and far. General Manager Ambriz
believes in championing park and green equity and access through the Park, particularly to
over half a million residents who live within a three-mile radius. As well, she recognizes the
Park’s potential to serve as a world-class destination and community economic opportunity
as it prepares to host the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, following historic
hosting of the 1932 and 1984 Summer Olympic Games.

Prior to serving as General Manager, Ambriz was Deputy Secretary of External Affairs at the
California Natural Resources Agency, cultivating strategic partnerships to facilitate the
agency’s protection of California’s natural, historic and cultural resources. She previously
served as Chief Operating Officer at River LA and as Chief of Staff at SEIU Local 2015. She also
formerly held notable roles in the U.S. federal government, including for 44th U.S. President
Barack Obama as White House Deputy Director of Private Sector Engagement and at the U.S.
Department of the Treasury. Ambriz has also worked in the California State Legislature,
advising on diverse policies and initiatives, including advancing the allocation of over $400
million equitably to park-poor neighborhoods across California and supporting landmark
clean-air legislation.

She serves on the Board of the Los Angeles Fire and Police Pension Commission and the
Municipal Improvement Corporation of Los Angeles among others. She is a Los Angeles
native, and earned undergraduate degrees from DePaul University, and holds a Master of
Public Policy degree from the University of California, Berkeley.
