Join Larry Baer, president and CEO of the San Francisco Giants, in a thought-provoking discussion with NBC Bay Area’s Raj Mathai about the challenges and opportunities facing San Francisco as it navigates a pivotal moment in its history. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, San Francisco has grappled with a series of complex issues, including remote work trends, downtown retail challenges, and concerns about public safety. Baer, a fourth-generation San Franciscan and co-chair of Advance SF, will share insights into how the city's business community is responding to these challenges and working to ensure a vibrant future for San Francisco.
With decades of experience at the helm of the Giants organization, Baer brings a unique perspective on the intersection of sports, business, and community development. He will discuss the Giants' role in investing in projects like Mission Rock, a new mixed-use neighborhood adjacent to Oracle Park, and share his vision for the team's upcoming season. As San Francisco looks to rebound from recent setbacks, Baer's insights offer valuable perspectives on how the city can leverage its strengths and address its challenges to emerge stronger and more resilient than ever.
