Jed York and Ed Policy have a lifelong connection that began in their childhood in Youngstown, Ohio, where they attended the same school and college. York, who is now the CEO and principal owner of the San Francisco 49ers, viewed Policy as a mentor. Policy is set to become the president and CEO of the Green Bay Packers, succeeding Mark Murphy. Given that the Packers lack a primary owner, the CEO effectively fulfills that role, marking an important transition for the franchise.
Jed York admired Ed Policy, his childhood role model from Youngstown, Ohio. Their close ties included attending the same high school and college, and living in the same Notre Dame dorm room.
York and Policy have a family connection through York's uncle, Eddie DeBartolo Jr., who owned the 49ers, and Policy’s father, Carmen, who worked for the DeBartolo family.
Even though Policy is ten years older, York looked up to him, viewing him as a mentor and older brother figure in their youth. Their bond shaped York's perspective on leadership.
Ed Policy, appointed the new president and CEO of the Green Bay Packers, will operate a team that does not have a principal owner, marking a significant career milestone.
