After Quaker Oats, Allen became president of Corporate Express and is currently the president of Paladin Resources, LLC. Paladin is a Denver-based company providing services to internet and communications companies. In addition, Allen recently became a director of Tyson Foods, Inc. and a director of Maytag Corporation.

Former U.S. National Team head coach Tony DiCicco was serving as the WUSA's acting commissioner and he will stay with the league, reporting to Allen.
