In his ninth season with the 49ers, Collin Meador is responsible for sourcing, evaluating, and executing investments and management consulting services with partners adjacent to the team's assets. Once engaged as shareholders, Meador executes business development opportunities with all external stakeholders of 49ers Enterprises. He also serves as a resource for the team's sports performance technology strategy.
Meador played an integral role in executing the investment in Leeds United, and he often acts as a liaison between the two sports franchises, empowering and executing operational challenges. In addition to the investment in Leeds United, Meador is also responsible for the team's seed-stage investments.
Meador spent over three years consulting for Sacramento Republic Football Club's MLS expansion team bid and 20,000-capacity soccer-specific stadium in downtown Sacramento. Meador and his team execute a similar role with American Cricket Enterprises as the collective group prepares to launch a new professional league – Major League Cricket – in the United States.
At the 49ers, Meador is involved in sports strategy, where he played an active role in shaping the team's sports performance department. He studied different models across the world to inform the current structure and sourced the hiring of the Head of Player Health and Performance, Ben Peterson. Given his active presence in Silicon Valley's ecosystem, he also activates the player performance technology vertical, where he scouts technology deployed at the team to improve player health and safety.
Prior to the 49ers, Meador spent almost four years in the Principal Investment Area of Goldman Sachs & Co. In 2017, Collin was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 List.
