Career

Mr. York began his working days as a financial analyst for Guggenheim Partners LLC at their New York offices.[1] Jed and his family initially intended for him to stay in New York in order to further his education with a Master's degree. However, when the 49ers brought in Mike Nolan to be head coach, it was decided that would be the best time to also bring Jed into the organization and prepare a several year transition of leadership.[3]
