SUNRISE, Fla. â Michael White always aims to please. Whether it was during his latest job as Chief Product Officer for Amazonâs autonomous vehicle company, Zoox, or a focal point of one of his senior leadership roles with the The Walt Disney Company, the veteran executive has made a career out of serving consumers. In his role as President of Business Operations with the Florida Panthers, that wonât change. âEverything is going to be in service of the fan,â White said during his introductory press conference at Amerant Bank Arena on Tuesday. âThe opportunity is pretty massive here.â Itâs also an opportunity that was too good to pass up. Despite being very happy in his role overseeing the business development worldâs first purpose-built autonomous robotaxi with Amazon, White was lured to the world of sports after speaking with the leadership group of the Panthers, including owner Vincent Viola. During the interview process, the entire Viola family gave the thumbs up.  âMike comes from a very accomplished career as a visionary, creative, innovative leader,â Viola said of Whiteâs long and impressive resume. âHe was one of the early entrepreneurs around technology. ⦠Weâre honored. The whole purpose of this organization is to respect our fans and provide them the absolute best experience in sports, both on the ice and off the ice. We toil at that, probably obsess at that, and hopefully weâre getting better and better at that. Choosing Mike to take the helm was a significant decision for the family.â
