VP Marketing / Senior Director candidate based in Houston, TX.
Directed marketing supporting 600+ restaurant, hotel, and casino locations inside a multi-billion dollar hospitality company — generating $20M+ in documented operational savings.
For nearly 24 years I led marketing operations inside Landry's, Inc. — a privately held, multi-billion dollar hospitality and gaming company headquartered in Houston, operating 600+ restaurants, hotels, casinos, and entertainment destinations across 35 states and D.C. Its brands include Golden Nugget Hotels & Casinos, Morton's The Steakhouse, Mastro's, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., Chart House, Del Frisco's, and The Post Oak Hotel, among dozens of others.
Landry's is owned by Tilman Fertitta — a self-made billionaire (Forbes estimates his net worth near $11B), owner of the NBA's Houston Rockets, and currently the U.S. Ambassador to Italy. In 2026, his holding company, Fertitta Entertainment, agreed to acquire Caesars Entertainment for $17.6 billion — a measure of the scale of the organization this experience was built inside.
He's also the author of Shut Up and Listen!, a leadership book built around customer obsession ("No Spare Customers"), disciplined financial management, and hands-on hospitality — the same principles that shaped how marketing operated day to day across the portfolio.
Operational excellence. Financial discipline. Unwavering commitment to core philosophy.
Every figure below comes directly from documented performance across three roles at Landry's, Inc.
"I lead with the bottom line first. I'm a doer — honest, high-integrity, and relentless, following protocol but staying open to every question that makes the work better. I care about developing people, not just process, so the operation runs strong beyond any one person in the room."
Twenty-four years in, I loved this job and knew I was making a real impact. In my final role, running marketing production for 600+ locations largely on my own, people were consistently impressed by how much one person could carry.
