Chris Griffin has spent nearly 20 years in finance for the hospitality and gaming industry. He’s been a banker, an auditor and has held numerous positions in middle and upper management covering accounting, strategy, yielding, development and more. Today, Griffin is the chief financial officer for two megaresorts on the Strip. And he’s only getting started.
With a breadth of technical knowledge and a penchant for common sense solutions, Griffin takes on challenges with the goal of fixing the problem and improving processes moving forward. He’s result-driven, numbers-oriented, has led several large-scale transactions and has developed teams of hundreds of employees. Through it all, Griffin is a servant leader who is deeply invested in the people with whom he works.
“I am most proud of seeing former team members prosper, multiply and go on to develop teams of their own,” Griffin said. “There are some incredible transactions that I have been a part of throughout my career, but nothing beats the feeling of accomplishment when your employees succeed and get promoted.”
Griffin’s biggest inspiration is his father, whom he describes as humble, patient, kind and tenacious. Griffin is involved with several of Treasure Island’s philanthropic efforts and fosters dogs in his free time.
