John Algie

President & General Manager

John Algie joins the Ohio Machine as President and General Manager after working as an attorney for the international law firm of Jones Day where he focused on corporate transactional work including mergers & acquisitions and private equity transactions.

John previously spent three years as the MLL’s Director of League Operations where his responsibilities included implementation and enforcement of the League’s on-field and player personnel rules, college and pro player scouting, and game operations management.  John was also one of the primary catalysts for the MLL’s change from a 45-second to the 60-second shot clock that has been in effect since the 2005 season.

John also guided the Chicago Machine through its 2010 season where he focused on marketing, operations, and sales. That season, as part of an initiative to showcase MLL in possible expansion markets, the Chicago Machine played each of its “home” games in six neutral locations. That season’s July 10 matchup against the Long Island Lizards at Crew Stadium helped plant the seed for permanent expansion to Columbus.

John graduated magna cum laude from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law.  He also earned his Master of Business Administration from the Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business.

A native of Long Island, NY,  John played college lacrosse for the University of Pittsburgh while earning his BS in Finance.  He currently resides in Upper Arlington with his wife, Danielle.
