Chief Marketing and Experience Officer

Mountain View, CA

Computer History Museum

Date Posted: 10/20/2025

To decode technology – its computing past, digital present, and future impact on humanity.

THE SEARCH

The Computer History Museum (CHM) seeks a bold, imaginative, and results-driven leader to serve as the next Chief Marketing and Experience Officer (CMEO). In addition to telling the stories of computing history and its transformative impacts on society, CHM equally brings a forward-looking perspective and aims to be a torchbearer for decoding technology’s histories and complexities. The Computer History Museum is the leading institution examining computing’s ongoing impact on our world. From the heart of Silicon Valley, CHM is uniquely positioned to cull the key lessons of the past and through research, exhibits, events, and an incomparable collection of computing artifacts, help create digital citizens with the knowledge and understanding to make the choices that will shape a better future. For more than 40 years, CHM has collected the technologies and captured the stories of the visionaries, disruptors, and pioneers of the computing revolution, welcoming 100,000 annual visitors. With an unparalleled collection, highly relevant physical location, dedicated board and staff, and critical mission, CHM is primed to enter its next chapter of cultivating and educating digital citizens around the globe. As artificial intelligence redefines what it means to be human, and as our world grapples with many complex, technology-driven issues, CHM’s mission, reputation, and ambitious goals position it as a key institution to shape a better future.

As CHM enters a new chapter of innovation and impact under new President and CEO Marc Etkind, the CMEO will play a pivotal role in expanding the Museum’s reach, deepening its relevance, and strengthening its earned revenue. The CMEO will be the Museum’s chief brand steward and architect of audience growth, responsible for shaping how CHM engages the public visually, experientially, and narratively. This leader ensures that all marketing strategies and communications reflect the Museum’s mission while actively driving growth in audiences, attendance, membership, and revenue. This leader will unify brand strategy, advertising, public relations, and visitor-focused marketing into a cohesive, mission-aligned approach that reflects CHM’s values and ambitions. The CMEO will oversee a diverse portfolio that includes marketing and communications, venue rental, museum services, and retail operations. They will lead a high-performing team and collaborate seamlessly across departments to ensure that every visitor touchpoint—before, during, and after a visit—reinforces CHM’s identity and inspires connection. This is a unique opportunity to reimagine the role of marketing in a cultural institution and to help shape the future of CHM’s public presence.

The Computer History Museum has retained the executive search firm Isaacson, Miller to assist in this search. All applications, inquiries, and nominations should be directed to the parties indicated at the end of this document.

CHM CORE BELIEFS

The world is changing; the telling of, and the learning from, history needs to change with it. Physical is merging with virtual, learning is merging with entertainment, time and attention spans are shrinking, yet people still love, and learn from, stories. CHM recognizes the need to tell its stories in a way that reaches a much larger audience in a much more engaging and memorable way. With a better understanding of the past, the world can make better decisions about the future. CHM’s work is guided by three core beliefs:

Our computing past informs our digital present with lessons that span generations.

CHM believes history can equip us with knowledge and inspire us with stories that spark imagination for generations to come. CHM collects and preserves the legacies of pioneers, company builders, and innovators to understand the past, contextualize the present, and explore what tomorrow might look like.

Technology should be created and applied ethically and expand access to opportunity.

CHM believes that carefully examining the evolution of technology, from the objects it collects to the stories it tells, generates new perspectives to inform our ongoing choices. CHM provides a trusted forum to share ideas about the individuals who use technology, the companies who make it, the people who benefit from it, and the communities who might be harmed or excluded. Together, we can pursue a better way.

Technological progress should be in service to human progress.

CHM believes problem-solving is at the heart of innovation. CHM believes that technology—coupled with human creativity—can solve problems, bring people together, and build a positive future if we’re mindful of the risks. CHM fosters creativity, stimulates learning, and convenes conversations about the possibilities and responsibilities of technology to further civic discourse, collaboration, and social change.

CHM Mission and Strategy

CHM’s mission is to decode technology–its computing past, digital present, and future impact on humanity. CHM seeks to fulfill that mission through three strategic pillars that outline the work it does:

• Preservation: CHM collects and cares for the artifacts and stories of the ongoing computing revolution to understand how our digital world came to be and where it might be headed.

• Education: CHM provides engaging experiences that make technology and computing history accessible and understandable to people of all ages, backgrounds, and interests, empowering them to make choices for a better future.

• Conversation: CHM facilitates dialogue and stimulates debate about critical issues in technology, because the action we take today creates the future we live in tomorrow.

CHM leadership have defined a roadmap to build a strong, sustainable 21st-century Museum reaching millions of people – online and in person. This plan, Strategy to 2030, has the following goals and objectives:

• Audience Reach and Impact: CHM will engage millions of people around the world with worldclass experiences that empower them to understand technology’s deep impact on our world and empower them to shape a better future.

• Operational Excellence and Continuous Improvement: CHM will further its role as a leading museum and trusted resource by embedding evaluation in all it does and continuously improving its systems and processes while responding to changing audience needs.

• Financial Sustainability: CHM will advance our bold vision of a human-centered digital world by ensuring CHM has the resources to fulfill our mission to decode technology for generations to come..

Current Context

With tremendous progress made in recent years with respect to team building, operational efficiency, fundraising, and infrastructure, the CHM leadership team is prepared and eager to drive toward the next chapter of impact.

In April 2025, Marc Etkind joined CHM as its new president and CEO with an extensive background in science and technology media. He most recently served as head of communications at NASA, where he led a team of 400 people across 10 centers, with responsibility that included news, exhibits, and historical preservation. He spearheaded a digital transformation for the agency, creating a new streaming service, modernizing the website, and expanding the reach of more than a dozen social media platforms to engage nearly 400 million followers. Prior to his tenure at NASA, Etkind was the general manager of the Science Channel and has held key executive roles at the History and Discovery channels. Marc is a selfdescribed "science and tech nerd" and museum lover. He discovered his future career at the age of ten, when he had an incredible experience watching chicks hatching at the Museum of Science in Boston with his dad.

As CHM continues expanding its digital footprint and storytelling capabilities, the Museum is equally focused on transforming its in-person experience and public identity. With recent leadership transitions, CHM is poised to reimagine how it engages audiences—from first impressions online to the moment visitors walk through the door. This is a critical moment to build a cohesive team, strengthen CHM’s visibility in Silicon Valley and beyond, and translate the Museum’s mission into meaningful connections with diverse audiences. CHM’s current annual operating budget is approximately $16 million, and the current endowment is over $36 million.

ROLE OF THE CHIEF MARKETING AND EXPERIENCE OFFICER

As a direct report to the President & CEO and a member of Executive Staff, the CMEO is accountable for CHM’s institution-wide success. In addition to leading Marketing and Experience, the CMEO joins a collaborative leadership team that defines how CHM behaves and decides consistently across departments to advance its mission. This includes modeling the values, decision-making norms, and culture that drive performance museum-wide. The CMEO plays a central role in shaping CHM’s strategy, direction, and operations while leading a high-performing team that drives audience growth, revenue generation, and brand visibility. In doing so, the CMEO will partner particularly closely with the Chief Curatorial and Exhibitions and Chief Digital Officers to align strategy and content across units.

The CMEO oversees brand strategy, advertising, public relations, museum promotions, and visitorfocused marketing, as well as in-person operations including ticketing, venue rental, café, and store sales. They develop long-term strategies to expand reach, diversify income streams, and strengthen CHM’s presence in the community and cultural sector. A critical goal for the CMEO is to ensure that every visitor touchpoint—before, during, and after a visit—makes the experience meaningful, encourages repeat visits, and deepens the visitor’s relationship with the Museum. This includes transforming first-time visitors into repeat guests, members, donors, and advocates. The Chief Digital Officer will spearhead digital strategy, while the CMEO will inform the digital brand and lead digital marketing functions.

The CMEO directly leads the Marketing team of 3, Venue Sales team of 4, and a Museum Services team overseeing visitor experience, volunteers, and group reservations with more than 8 front line associates. The Museum Services team is in the process of hiring a manager for school programs to energize engagement with the Bay Area’s K-12 school community.

KEY OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES FOR THE CMEO

The CMEO will be expected to address the following opportunities and challenges:

Unify brand, experience, and audience strategy

• Shape and position the Museum’s brand, set clear priorities, and drive execution to achieve ambitious goals. Serve as an officer on the Museum’s executive team, contributing to organizational decision-making and strategy.

About Tucson

Tucson is known for its culture and incredible dining. The city’s central core is a vibrant area with a lively downtown, and if you wander in any direction from the city you will find endless stunning outdoor space. There are more than 350 days of sunshine in Tucson, and people here love to soak it up. On warm summer days, hiking trails that end in monsoon-rain-filled watering holes rise in popularity, and adventurers flock to the Sky Island of Mount Lemmon, where temperatures are cooler and pine trees offer an escape from the Sonoran Desert. Closer to the city, Tumamoc offers miles of views. Surrounding it all is The Loop, a paved multipurpose trail that’s more than 130 miles in length for bikers, horseback riders and power walkers.

Saguaro National Park straddles the east and west sides of the city, with more than 91,000 acres to explore. Centuries-old culture and modern art exist side by side; step back through the history of Tucson to see how the city today unifies Hispanic, Native American and Anglo cultures. Mission San Xavier del Bac has seen the region transition from New Spain to Mexico to Arizona, and sites throughout the city keep that history visible and present.

But nowhere combines Tucson’s cultures better than the menus of local restaurants. Flavors here are centuries in the making; a driving force behind Tucson’s designation as a UNESCO City of Gastronomy was the embracing of native ingredients. And the city is packed with art galleries, museums, live music venues, theatre companies, and endless other cultural institutions. Learn more about Tucson here. On top of these reasons that make Tucson a great place to live, Tucson remains a relatively affordable place to live, with housing costs being a major factor in its lower-than average cost of living compared to other cities.
