In addition to overseeing the health of the 49ers business, Wilhelm has helped shape the franchise's recent growth and evolution. His accomplishments include leading and financing the largest renovation in Levi's® Stadium history, a $200 million investment that transformed the fan experience, with much of the work completed in fewer than six months. He was instrumental in welcoming new Owner Partners to the organization and advancing the team's strategic investments in Leeds United Football Club and Rangers Football Club, while also supporting the Bay Area Host Committee's successful delivery of the Super Bowl and FIFA World Cup – the first time in history a single venue has hosted both events in the same calendar year.

He also works closely with the Santa Clara Stadium Authority, the municipal body that owns Levi's® Stadium, on the long-term financial health and stewardship of the venue. During Wilhelm's tenure, the Stadium Authority has recorded its four strongest years of net revenue in its twelve-year history. The stadium is now decades ahead of schedule in paying down its debt, saving the Stadium Authority an estimated $100 million in interest payments, while generating millions more for Santa Clara's General Fund than originally projected.

Before joining the 49ers, Wilhelm spent six years (2016 – 2022) as CEO of Novita Ventures, concentrating on advisory engagements in finance, operations, and investments focused on real estate, technology, and sports & media. He also previously served as EVP and CFO of Caruso in Los Angeles from 2017 to 2020, where he gained valuable experience in mixed-use development. Earlier in his career, Wilhelm was the senior managing director of McCourt Global (2012 – 2016), managing enterprise-wide operations and investments in Los Angeles, New York, and London.

Wilhelm played an integral role in the 2004 acquisition of the Dodgers and subsequently, from 2004 to 2012, was part of the executive team responsible for nearly doubling revenue; improving EBITDA by over $80 million; completing $150 million in renovations to Dodger Stadium; setting the Dodgers single-season attendance record, in addition to achieving six of the seven all-time Dodger season attendance records; and reaching the playoffs four times in a six-season span, the only time that that had been achieved since the Dodgers' move to Los Angeles in 1958. This dramatic turnaround both on and off the field of an undervalued sports and media property culminated in the highest sale price ever achieved for a sports franchise in 2012.

Wilhelm earned an MBA in Finance and Operations from the Graduate School of Business at Columbia University and a BA in Economics from Cornell University. Wilhelm lives in San Jose, California. He spends weekends in Hermosa Beach, California, with his wife, JB, and daughters, Daly and Lily.
