A former financial analyst at Guggenheim Partners in New York City, York said he is using his experience to continue to build and grow the sports franchise.
“For us, it’s more the surrounding businesses that my family is a part of in and around the team,” he said.
York has made investments that include Leeds United, a European soccer team, and businesses that “touch the 49ers” and help incubate companies.
