In looking at Alex Chang’s path to becoming CMO of the San Francisco 49ers, you could say he took a bit of a slant route (I’m slowly upping my football vocab!). His journey began when he decided to ditch his pre-med studies to explore healthcare consulting and then went on to American Express where he spent more than 13 years across various marketing functions.

So what brought him to take the marketing helm at the 49ers? The opportunity to transform brand strategy, engage new audiences and rebuild the marketing organization from the ground up.
