Bowers joins the Marlins after serving the last five seasons as chief marketing officer for the defending NBA-champion Golden State Warriors. He will report directly to Miami's chief executive officer, Derek Jeter.

"Our goal is to operate a first-class organization with first-class individuals," Jeter said in a statement. "Chip brings an immense breadth of experience, working in outstanding organizations which have achieved success both on and off the field or court of play. He is a proven leader who truly understands community and corporate partnership and client service."

Bowers' role essentially replaces Samson, although the responsibilities aren't entirely the same.

"I am honored and thrilled to be joining Bruce Sherman, Derek Jeter and the Miami Marlins organization," Bowers said in a statement. "This organization's leadership and commitment to building sustainable success, with a focus on re-engaging their corporate and community partners, made this a very easy decision. I look forward to rolling up my sleeves and working diligently to deliver a championship-caliber experience of which South Florida can be proud."

With the Warriors, Bowers oversaw all marketing channels and brand development, corporate partnership sales and services efforts, and broadcasting.

In his tenure at Golden State, the Warriors were named the SportsBusiness Journal's Sports Team of the Year in 2014 and 2016.

Bowers recently was instrumental in the signing of significant new sponsorship agreements for the Warriors' new arena, the Chase Center, including naming rights.
