#Eagles promoted Catherine Raiche to VP of Football Ops, the new highest ranking female in personnel in NFL history. The 32-year-old ex-assistant GM for the @MTLAlouettes takes over a role that Andrew Berry held at 32 before becoming the #Browns GM. Another glass ceiling broken. https://t.co/rXibaoWLEL

The Eagles have also hired former Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell as a personnel executive.
Caldwell spent the past eight years in Jacksonville, which had one winning season in that span. In his new role with the Eagles, Caldwell will contribute to evaluating the team while also assisting with both the pro scouting and college scouting process.
The Birds also promoted Ameena Soliman to pro scout. She joined the organization as a player personnel intern in 2018 and served as the team's player personnel coordinator the past two seasons.
