INDIANAPOLIS — Pacers Sports & Entertainment Chief Operating officer Mel Raines didn’t have the organization's CEO job on her radar.

In a press release, Pacers Sports & Entertainment owner Steve Simon shared, “Mel has the temperament, talent and experience to take PS&E to the next level.”Born in South Bend, Raines attended Indiana University in Bloomington before embarking on her 20-year political career. Following the Super Bowl in 2012, Raines served as former Indiana District 5 representative Susan Brooks’ chief of staff.

“When the opportunity presented itself, I thought, 'Well, this is going to help me establish myself back in my home state, and show them what I can do.' I was lucky enough that that was the case.”
