Previously, Ahron led the Arizona Coyotes organization as its President, CEO and Alternate Governor. During his time with the Coyotes, the franchise posted several record-setting business results, including all-time highs in ticket sales, corporate sponsorships, premium seating, merchandise and food & beverage. The organization was widely recognized as a best-in-class franchise for fan experience, including a top 3 ranking in the NHL by J.D. Power & Associates for overall customer satisfaction results. Most importantly, Cohen set the tone for sports team philanthropy by leading the organization to donate a record-setting $3.5 million into the Arizona community during his final year as CEO.

He also created a mandate for all Coyotes employees to donate at least 15 hours each year towards community service. Ahron also championed empowering diverse perspectives in the organization by drastically increasing the number of females on the executive management team and being the first team in the NHL to hire a female hocket ambassador in Lyndsey Fry. According to the former Athletic reporter Craig Morgan, “Cohen’s greatest legacy with the Coyotes will likely be the inclusive and responsive relationship he developed with the greater community.” Before becoming President & CEO, Ahron rose through the ranks of the organization, first serving as its Chief Legal Officer and thereafter its COO.
